Polis signs order expediting affordable housing funding, state growth goals

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 10:25:17 GMT

In a bid to accelerate affordable housing development in Colorado, Gov. Jared Polis signed an executive order Monday that expedites loan and grant approval processes while directing a suite of state agencies to prioritize programs to help prepare the state for years of coming population growth.The order sets out 10 “strategic growth goals” for Colorado in the coming years, a nod both to the state’s current housing shortage and to its projected needs. It directs the state’s Division of Housing to expedite signing contracts with approved grant and loan recipients. Polis told The Denver Post that will cut the timeline for money to reach recipients — like affordable housing developers — from eight months to 90 days. Affordable housing advocates and developers have long lamented the delays, which can run up to a year or more and add time and money to already tight budgets.The order doesn’t allocate any additional funding.
