Final Draft Housing Needs Assessment Methodology for Public Comment

Hide Featured Image
true

Senate Bill 24-174 requires each local government, with some exceptions, to conduct and publish an HNA no later than December 31, 2026, and to update the HNA at least every six years thereafter. This new law also directs the state to develop, by December 31, 2024, a methodology to conduct local and regional housing needs assessments.

DOLA invites you to review the Final Draft Housing Needs Assessment Guide for Colorado Communities and to comment by December 16, 2024. In your comment, please note the section and page number (e.g., "C. Housing Inventory, pgs. 30-31”), and please also provide links to any additional resources that may be helpful to reference in the report.

Does your jurisdiction have an existing local and regional housing needs assessment? If you would like to have this reviewed and have not yet done so, please email preexisting HNAs to KC McFerson by December 31, 2024. In the subject line, include: “SB174 Preexisting HNA for Review.”

Thank you for your interest and support! And thank you to those jurisdictions and organizations that participated in our focus groups that shaped this methodology!

Note: The comment form is not available after December 16, 2024.
