We invite you to join our newly-founded Coalition to advocate for the importance of affordable housing within our community with the overall goal of improving the heal3:30 PMth and wellness of older adults through secure and affordable housing.
- Coalition members are invited to the Denver Affordable Housing Advocacy Summit on November 2, 2021 from 9 am to 11:30 am to a) complete a Health Impact Assessment work looking specifically at Denver and how it affects systemic ageism and racism for affordable housing; b) participate in developing housing plans that can be presented to key influencers and policy makers regarding the system ageism and racism impacting affordable housing; and c) be active in being an active voice for older adults with key influencers and policy makers to implement responsive affordable housing for older adults.
- Coalition members engage in discussion and strategy planning to influence policy makers at the state and local level to increase affordable housing and wrap-around services using the American Rescue Program funding that is available. Currently there is more than $1 billion available. The Coalition is working to access some of this funding to support affordable housing for home owners and renters.Register to attend the Coalition Meeting
