Michael will drive a statewide surge in home construction, starting with a bold state commitment to increase the supply of state-supported housing by 30% by 2035.
Bennet promises to increase the supply of state-supported housing in Colorado by 30% by 2035.
Occurrences
Evidence
Michael Bennet released a comprehensive housing platform to tackle the state’s housing crisis and build a Colorado where no one is forced to spend more than 30% of their income on housing. The plan includes a bold state commitment to increase the supply of state-supported housing by 30% by 2035.
The bill changes the requirements for the 3-year cycle beginning on January 1, 2027, and each 3-year cycle thereafter, so that a local government desiring to receive funding from the statewide affordable housing fund is no longer required to increase affordable housing units by 3% above the baseline each year, but is instead required to meet the target increase number of affordable housing units.
Assessments
The promise is a Colorado state housing outcome target for 2035, and the deadline has not arrived. The evidence shows Bennet announced the goal in a gubernatorial campaign housing platform, but does not show that he enacted, sponsored, or materially advanced a federal or state measure that has already increased state-supported housing supply by 30%. The Colorado HB26-1313 evidence concerns state legislation after the campaign period, but the provided record does not establish Bennet's role or completed delivery of the promised 2035 outcome.
Bennet released a detailed policy plan promising to increase state-supported housing by 30% by 2035, and relevant state legislation impacting affordable housing fund requirements has been proposed. However, there is no conclusive evidence that the promised 30% increase has been delivered or is guaranteed to be delivered. The commitment is long-term and evidence does not yet show completion or failure.
