Looking to become a local Denver advocate? CGS has been working hard to promote and support our Denver Summit Housing Coalition. The purpose of the Coalition is to work with policy makers in the City and County of Denver to increase the inclusion of aging in the city's current and on-going housing planning. The Coalition creates and dives deep into conversations surrounding: reviewing current affordable housing policies; including incentives for developers to increase housing units for fixed-income older adults, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and advocates for prioritization of fixed-income older adult renters/homeowners.
Our next meeting date/time: August 4th, 2:00-3:00PM.
This week, we will discuss:
1. Continue to discuss Denver's Prioritization Policy advocacy efforts and letter campaign

2. As a coalition: Weigh in on DOLA’s Annual Action Plan (specifically for the HOME-ARP grant program)
