chfa celebrates 50 years of strengthening colorado | |
This year, CHFA is celebrating 50 years of strengthening Colorado by investing in affordable housing and community development. Since 1974, CHFA has had the privilege to collaborate with valuable partners, innovators, and changemakers to build stronger communities through investments to support homeownership, business growth, affordable rental housing development, and mission-aligned nonprofits.
Throughout 2024, CHFA will reflect on the many partners and collaborators that made this work possible, while also looking ahead toward investing in a stronger Colorado where everyone will have the opportunity for housing stability and economic prosperity.

call to action: housing tax credit provisions in the 2024 federal tax bill | The latest version of Congress’ proposed 2024 tax bill includes important provisions that will enhance the federal Housing Tax Credit program and support the development of more affordable housing in Colorado. This is good news, but the bill still has several hurdles to clear before it is passed into law, and it must pass before tax filing season begins on January 29. Therefore, your outreach to Colorado’s congressional delegation seeking their support of the bill is very important. The link below includes their contact information, and additional details on this significant piece of legislation. | |
