2019 Squeezed Out: Challenges of Diversity and Affordability in Colorado Communities

Squeezed Out: Challenges of Diversity and Affordability in Colorado Communities

Many Coloradans – renters, immigrants, artists, students, seniors, mobile and manufactured homeowners, single-parent and working families, small business owners and middle-class families – are financially stressed as a result of housing and other urban costs. Coloradans are also worried about quality of life – congestion, pollution, neighborhood character and shrinking green landscapes. Please join us at the third annual Community Building Colorado-Style conference to explore creative solutions to the challenges of affordability, diversity and equity in rapidly-growing Colorado communities.
