  • Housing Developments on Qualifying Properties (“Housing Opportunities Made Easier”)
    January 22, 2026
    Your NO Vote is Respectfully Requested

    House Bill 26-1001 -
    Housing Developments on Qualifying Properties (“Housing Opportunities Made Easier”) abandons sound planning and housing needs assessments and gives special privileges to certain groups to build multifamily residential buildings with no community input and without any consistency with surrounding development.
  • Vote YES on HB26-1036, Authorization for a Local Government to Impose Taxes on Vacant Residential Properties
    January 14, 2026

    Empower Colorado communities to address housing needs.

    This bill gives counties and municipalities the option to ask voters to adopt a locally defined vacant-home-based funding tool, which can be used to create funding for local housing needs and incentives to activate vacant housing rather than leaving homes empty and unproductive.

    CML respectfully requests you support HB26-1036
