Colorado Conversations About Affordable Housing
CAR’s Vice President of Government Affairs Liz Peetz was part of a panel addressing Colorado’s access to housing and affordability. The program was hosted by the Denver Gazette, which posed questions to panel members who included Ted Leighty, Colorado Home Builders Association; Jonathan Cappelli, Neighborhood Development Collaborative; Peter LiFari, Maiker Housing Partners; Karen Kallenberg, Habitat for Humanity Colorado; and Liz Peetz, CAR. Many reasons for the problem were given, including CAR’s March February 2022 Market Trends stats: “One house’s value jumped from $555,000 to $659,000 from just January to February this year. That’s 84,000 in just 30 days! And it’s not just a Front Range problem — it’s statewide.”
