DENVER â As housing prices across Colorado continue to increase, a potential new law will allow cities and town to regulate affordable housing in new development projects.
House Bill 21-117 seeks to give localities the authority to regulate development and construction of new affordable housing units. All it does is seek to uncouple inclusionary zoning from rent control, said Elena Wilken, policy director at Housing Colorado which helped create the bill. Thereby restoring that zoning authority to local governments.
The bill comes as rents continue to increase across the Colorado, one of the fastest growing states in the country.
