HOUSING TASK FORCE
PURPOSE: To promote the collective actions necessary to advance equity and justice in Colorado’s systems and policies in issue areas aligned with League positions.
The Housing Task Force's purpose is to inform and engage members across the state to promote collective actions around housing issues as they are strongly aligned with a stated League position(s). By increasing the understanding and importance of this issue through education, this Task Force hopes to influence public policy and legislation at all levels through advocacy, while speaking with one League voice.
The Housing Task Force coordinates with local Leagues and other organizations advocating for policies in this area. They will organize webinars, workshops and presentations on major topics of interest within the housing issue and promote justice and equity through advocacy at all levels of government. They are closely aligned with the efforts of the LWVCO Legislative Action Committee and the LWVUS to ensure cohesion.
