Legislative Update

Preston Prince, AHA Executive Director, made two trips recently to Washington, D.C., to meet with Colorado’s Congressional delegation.

On March 14, he joined several Aurora City Council members in meetings with the Colorado Congressional Delegation to discuss Aurora’s legislative priorities. On March 21, he accompanied three AHA commissioners to meet with the Colorado Delegation to discuss AHA’s housing agenda. “Working closely with our Delegation, we can bring the issues of housing and community development to the forefront and we can create solutions that work for our community,” he said.

In its publication “The Road from Here,” the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials (NAHRO) outlines its four legislative priorities for affordable housing.

Preservation of existing affordable housing inventor

Production of new affordable housing

Maintenance of quality communities through the preservation of the CDBG program

Initiation of program reforms that come from the housing community

NAHRO is a professional membership organization comprised of approximately 20,000 housing and community development agencies and officials throughout the United States who administer a variety of affordable housing and community development programs at the local level.
