CPLP is disappointed by the Governor's surprising veto of HB23-1190. While we are dismayed that the Governor refused to sign this historic legislation into law, CPLP commends the sponsors and the coalition that advanced this bill.

HB-1190 is a first-of-its-kind legislation that would provide local governments with a more reasonable chance to purchase apartments as affordable housing. We urge @GovofCO to sign this historic bill into law! Learn more: tinyurl.com/4h43afnu

CPLP was counsel for CVC. We worked extensively with the City in briefing these issues and are very pleased we could deliver a great result for our client and ensure the continuation of the temporary managed campsite model as a bridge to permanent housing. businessden.com/2022/11/07/jud…

Josie, a single mother, came to CPLP to advocate for herself after her landlord wrongfully imposed illegal late fees. With your support, we were able to stop this housing injustice. As we approach #CGD2022, you can support neighbors like Josie today. copovertylawproject.org/post/supportin…

This is a significant victory for mobile home residents. Rarely—if ever—has a court in Colorado enjoined a landlord from raising rents. copovertylawproject.org/post/gunnison-…
