Bill Summary · HB 1360

Legislative bill overview

HB 1360 establishes an Affordable Housing Financing Fund in Colorado to provide financial resources for affordable housing development and preservation. The bill directs state funding mechanisms toward expanding access to affordable housing for low- and moderate-income residents across the state.

Why is this important

Colorado faces significant housing affordability challenges, with rising costs pricing out working families from homeownership and rental markets. A dedicated financing fund can accelerate housing production and preservation while leveraging state resources to address this critical need, potentially reducing homelessness and workforce displacement.

Potential points of contention

  • Funding source clarity – The specific mechanism for capitalizing the fund (general revenue, bonds, fees, or other sources) will determine its actual impact and whether it competes with other state priorities
  • Program design and oversight – Questions remain about how funds will be allocated, which projects receive priority, and what accountability measures ensure effective use of public money
  • Scope of "affordable" – Disagreement may arise over income thresholds and whether the fund addresses extremely low-income housing or primarily supports moderate-income households
