McCluskie Attends High Country Housing Affordability Event

FRISCO, CO – Speaker Julie McCluskie today attended a Resort Housing Affordability Stakeholder Outreach and Engagement event hosted by Housing Colorado in collaboration with the Colorado Department of Local Affairs, the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority, and the Office for Economic Development and International Trade. 

“Everyone in the high country should be able to live, work and learn in the places they love, but the cost of living in our communities is way too high,” said Speaker McCluskie, D-Dillon. “I’m proud of our focus to make housing, health care and child care more affordable. This event showcased our ongoing efforts to save people money on housing, build more homes in the high country, reduce the cost of renting, and create affordable pathways for homeowners to purchase their first home.” 

The event was designed to foster dialogue and collaboration among stakeholders committed to addressing housing challenges across the state. Speaker McCluskie sponsored the bipartisan property tax package that will permanently reduce property taxes for families and small businesses. 

McCluskie has also sponsored legislation to allow resort communities to access Prop 123 affordable housing funding and responsibly encourage more housing to reduce the cost of living in resort communities. She authored successful laws to boost child care affordability, and referred a measure to voters to establish Colorado’s free universal preschool program.
