Housing Strategies Peer Exchange monthly series

The Community Development Office within DOLA hosts this monthly peer exchange series for local governments working on affordable housing strategies and land use issues. This interactive virtual series takes place on the third Thursday of each month from 9-10 a.m. The intent of the series is to provide a forum for sharing challenges, successes, and innovative approaches – to learn from peer communities across Colorado who are implementing solutions to local housing challenges. Each month will feature a different topic with brief presentations from selected Colorado communities, with ample time allowed for questions and discussion. 
Learn more and register to attend upcoming events.
