Together, Renters Triumph: The Power of Organizing in Colorado's Fight for Fair Evictions

Overview
Colorado renters face significant challenges, exacerbated by rapid population growth and rising rental prices. Low-income renters are vulnerable, particularly to corporate landlords who use evictions to drive up rents. This unstable housing environment gave rise to Colorado Homes For All (COHFA), a statewide coalition focused on advancing progressive housing policies that prioritize renters’ rights. COHFA believes that low-income renters are the key to transformative change. In an understanding that together they prevent displacement and discrimination, COHFA’s policy priorities include repealing the rent stabilization ban, passing local rent stabilization policies, and ensuring just cause for evictions.
