Sustainable Affordable Housing Assistance Grant Program Guidelines Available for Public Comment

The Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA), with funding from SB24-174, offers state assistance to local governments and regional entities to promote the development of housing need assessments, housing action plans, and comprehensive plans compliant with state law.

DOLA invites you to review the draft program guidelines for the Sustainable Affordable Housing Assistance Grant Program and to comment using the Sustainable Affordable Housing Assistance Grant Program Guidelines form by February 16, 2025. While we welcome your input on the draft guidelines in full, we would greatly appreciate your feedback on critical components of the guidelines such as match requirements, scoring criteria, and eligibility. Please consider unintended consequences associated with the proposed requirements and criteria.

Please note that the application deadline has yet to be determined. There are also references to some DOLA guidance documents that are not yet available. Once the referenced guidance documents become available, they will be hyperlinked within the program guideline document.

Thank you in advance for your insightful feedback. We look forward to reviewing your comments!
