SDO will discuss its new HNA data bundle tool during DOLA’s Monthly Housing Strategies Peer Exchange meeting on January 15, 2026, at 9:00 a.m.
The Community Development Office is hosting a monthly peer exchange series for local governments working on affordable housing strategies and land use issues. This interactive virtual series will take place on the third Thursday of each month from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m.
The intent of the series is to provide a forum for sharing challenges, successes, and innovative approaches, and to learn from peer communities across Colorado who are implementing solutions to local housing challenges. Each month will feature a different topic with brief presentations from selected Colorado communities, with ample time allowed for questions and discussion.
