Big congrats to Grand Junction, Superior, Larimer County, Glenwood Springs, Fruita, Brighton, and Longmont on being the first to receive grant money from Colorado's Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Grant Program! www.cpr.org/2025/11/19/c...

Lakewood Colorado is now a leader in housing reform and legalizing more attainable and affordable homes. When will Denver and other cities across the Front range catch up?

Single-stair buildings allow for more homes in the same amount of space -- a design tweak that can help us solve the housing shortage. Recognizing these benefits, Denver is going beyond the state requirements to allow more single-stair buildings: archive.is/2025.11.17-1...

(1/4) Lakewood just adopted one of Colorado’s most significant zoning updates: legalizing middle housing citywide and making room for the kind of compact, affordable homes the city has been missing.

"The burden of soaring housing costs is primarily driven by the fact that the United States does not have enough housing to meet demand." We agree, AND the new construction needs to be where infrastructure already exists! New from CAP: www.americanprogress.org/article/buil...

Thanks to a recent construction boom, Denver rents are falling -- and that doesn't even include "concessions" from property owners.

Our latest blog post by HFC lead @mattfrommer.bsky.social and economist Luke Teater crunches the numbers on how housing construction affects low-income renters in #Denver: housingforwardco.org/denvers-hous...

The business community offers solutions for more housing in #Colorado: faster and easier permitting, public-private partnerships, zoning reforms, and more! tsscolorado.com/affordable-h...

In the last 2 years, average apartment rents in #Denver have fallen 5.9% -- and 10% for the most affordable segment of the market. The data show that when we build more housing, rents fall the most for households that need the greatest relief. Learn more: housingforwardco.org/denvers-hous...

City and state leaders who want to improve #HousingAffordability in their communities should take heed: We need sustained housing production to make #Colorado affordable in a permanent way. housingforwardco.org/denvers-hous...

New from @strongtowns.org: Small, precise zoning code text revisions that can unlock big opportunities for communities facing housing shortages. www.strongtowns.org/journal/2025...

Strong coalitions across ideological divides make change possible. And, in that regard, “the YIMBY movement is showing it can be done.”

We should build a lot more of the safest types of homes.

The narrow concerns of local NIMBYs are a “disaster for housing in the US.” Leaders — especially at the state level — should stand up to naysayers and do what’s right.

Rocky Mt Land Use Institute and @ternerhousing.bsky.social study finds that eliminating #parking mandates will likely boost housing construction in #Denver by about 12.5%, or ~460 more homes per year. A high-impact result for a relatively simple policy change! theconversation.com/denver-study...

Huge congrats to pro-housing organizers for election wins in Centennial, Denver, Englewood, Fort Collins, Lafayette, Littleton, Longmont, Louisville, and more! 🎉🎉

Colorado’s 2024 land use reforms on ADUs, parking, and TOD were a big step. But the real climate and affordability gains come when cities go beyond the minimums. Let’s double down on smart growth to cut emissions, costs, and wildfire risk. Here's our breakdown: housingforwardco.org/five-ways-sm...
