Hi everyone,
Updated 2020 planning document follows and includes activities regarding the implementation of bills passed in the 2019 session. Also note that CCLP’s issues regarding housing have been added, and that this document is now organized differently than previous versions.
Also - at the last meeting, it was mentioned that JCOA is having its 2020 planning session. Christina will provide an update.

And here is more from Alison George and DOH:
To assist with the implementation of the
Mobile Home Park Act Dispute Resolution and Enforcement Program, Division of Housing (DOH) will undergo a public rulemaking process.

There is an upcoming stakeholder meeting on Sept 16th in Colorado Springs -

WHO ON OUR TEAM WOULD LIKE TO STAY CONNECTED TO Division of Housing (DOH) AND PROVIDE UPDATES ON ACTIVITIES?
With the aging of the homeless population, there are greater service needs. There are not currently any specific programs in DOH for seniors - Should there be?
We will also discuss whether to actively support, passively support, or not support at all, Proposition CC, which will be on our fall ballot.
See you Monday.
Cheers, Bob
President - Colorado Senior Lobby
