Affordable Housing in Our Community

Affordable housing is not just a basic necessity; it is the foundation of stable communities and the gateway to a better quality of life. The availability of housing at reasonable costs directly impacts various aspects of individuals’ well-being, economic opportunities, and social cohesion. In this blog, we will explore the crucial role of affordable housing in society and why it deserves our utmost attention and support.

The impacts that secure housing has on a community as a whole are multifaceted. The benefits include addressing poverty and decreasing homelessness, increasing mental health which in turn positively impacts physical health, boosting economic opportunities by empowering individuals to be a part of the workforce and in turn have additional disposable income to invest back into the community, fostering inclusive communities, and supports educational attainment by allowing access to quality schools and educational resources

Affordable housing is not a standalone issue; it is a vital component of a well-functioning society. By ensuring that individuals and families have access to safe, stable, and affordable housing, we create the foundation for better health, education, and economic opportunities. Policymakers, communities, and individuals must come together to invest in and support initiatives that promote affordable housing, as it is not only a fundamental human right but also the key to a prosperous and inclusive future for all.

If you are in need of support for affordable housing in Colorado, included below are additional resources:

Colorado Department of Health Care Policy & Financing (HCPF): The HCPF provides information about various Medicaid programs and waivers that can help individuals with I/DD access affordable housing options and support services. The waivers, like the HCBS (Home and Community-Based Services) Waiver, aim to keep individuals out of institutional settings and help them live in their communities. https://www.colorado.gov/hcpf

Colorado Housing Search Website: The Colorado Housing Search website is a comprehensive online database that allows users to search for affordable housing options in Colorado. Users can filter their search based on their specific needs and preferences, including options for individuals with disabilities. https://www.coloradohousingsearch.com/
​

Colorado Division of Housing (DOH): The DOH offers various programs and initiatives aimed at increasing access to affordable housing for low-income individuals and those with disabilities. They administer federal and state resources to support affordable housing development and rental assistance programs. https://cdola.colorado.gov/rental-assistance
