CO Housing, Scale & Minnesota Court-Ordered Measurable Housing Goals

To the Right & Below is a draft Housing Table representing our understanding of Colorado Housing Resources & Needs..  The State is providing over 6,600 housing slots for people with disabilities.

When we put in Colorado prisons and jails -- we probably need about double that.

Out of $7.6 million -- the State got 91 vouchers out of that.  Was that for one year or a period of years?

Colorado is likely looking at Hundreds of Millions of Dollars to bring housing for people with disabilities to scale.

Any court would likely balance:
  • the number of people the State is not yet housing;
  • the cost of the housing;
  • and the State's overall wealth -- not what TABOR says, etc.

See Below "Goal One" for Minnesota's Court-ordered Olmstead Plan with the measurable goals for Housing.

Measurable goals

Goal One: By June 30, 2019, the number of people with disabilities who live in the most integrated housing of their choice where they have a signed lease and receive financialsupport to pay for the cost of their housing will increase by 5,547 (from 6,017 to 11,564 orabout a 92% increase).

Baseline: In State Fiscal Year 2014, there were an estimated 38,079 people living in segregated
settings.

integrated housing of their choice where they have a signed lease and receive financial support to pay for the cost of their housing.
