    Volunteer with organizations devoted to providing housing

    These organizations focus at least in part on assuring that everyone has a decent and safe place to live.

    Habitat for Humanity - www.habitatcolorado.org

    Builds simple, decent, affordable houses in partnership with those in need of adequate shelter. There are 29 affiliates in Colorado.

    Brothers Redevelopment Inc. - www.briathome.org

    Rehabilitates homes with help of volunteers and resells them affordably to families who need a home. BRI also hosts an annual Paint-a-thon.

    Interfaith Hospitality Network - http://www.interfaithhospitality.org/
    Gives shelter and services to homeless individuals and families through a network of faith communities which rotate as hosts.

     

    Get involved in your local government

    Attend city council meetings, zoning hearings and housing authority meetings and track how your community is responding or not responding to affordable housing needs.  Be sure to ask candidates for office about their thoughts on affordable housing and its importance in building an economically viable and healthy community.
