The executive order will help speed up loans and grants related to affordable housing projects, with a main goal of"improving livability" in Colorado.Gov. Jared Polis wants the state government to pick up the pace when it comes to delivering money to local governments to build homes.
The order directs state agencies that deal with housing, public health, natural resources, labor, transportation,and other areas"adjacent to housing," according to Polis, to identify programs that local governments rely on to develop housing, so those agencies can then"make their programs and timelines more efficient."
Polis is hoping that the executive order not only gives local governments an idea for how they can speed up their own programs, but also how to"lead by example," he said. Aurora, which has a reputation as a Denver suburb or bedroom city, was well represented at Monday's press conference — with"It's important the state demonstrate good faith and a willingness to help localities like Aurora catch up with the housing crisis and get ahead of long-term challenges we have in the region," Marcano said, noting how he currently rents but has been trying to find a home to buy for years.
