Prop 123 Compliance Development Consultant
Colorado voters approved Proposition 123 in 2022, establishing the State Affordable Housing Fund. Organizations are only eligible for the majority of this funding if their project takes place in municipalities, counties, or tribes that have filed a commitment to increase their affordable housing stock by 3% per year for up to three years, for a total of 9%. If at the end of their commitment period a local or tribal government hasn’t reached their 3% per year goal, the local or tribal government is no longer eligible for Proposition 123 funding for the following year nor are any other entities interested in applying for Proposition 123 funding that is related to development.
By December 31, 2026, the Division of Housing (DOH) under the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) must determine if local and tribal governments achieved their commitment target, whether it is over three years, two years, or even one year. As such, DOH needs to create guidance for counting units, unit sharing and reporting requirements that will comply with all Proposition 123 statutory language as outlined in section 29-32-105(3)(d), C.R.S.
DOLA is hiring consultant assistance to:
- Research and provide information about common challenges in counting units toward a local or tribal government’s Proposition 123 commitment while remaining compliant with Proposition 123 statutes.
- Research and provide recommendations to DOH on the required reporting for local and tribal governments that will ensure compliance with Proposition 123 statutes while not creating an administrative burden to the local and tribal government.
- Assist DOH in facilitating stakeholder engagement and outreach to identify how different unit types may or may not be counted toward the goal.
- Inform the development of guidance document that provides clarity on how DOH will interpret Proposition 123 requirements for compliance, as defined by Proposition 123 applicable statutes.
- Develop materials for DOH to share with local and tribal governments to help inform how/when a unit is counted.
- Provide 2-3 educational webinars to inform local and tribal governments of the finalized guidance compliance under Prop 123.
Financing for this Project: The Budget limit for this project is $60,000.
Deadline: May 10, 2024
