Colorado report links housing, health, eviction right to counsel

08/07/2019, Report, Housing - Evictions

A report by the Colorado Health Institute looks at the links between housing instability and health and calls for Colorado (either at the state or cities level) to establish a right to counsel for tenants facing eviction.  The report notes that such a policy would promote both housing stability and affordability, and would benefit Low-income Coloradans, communities of color, families with children, people without documentation, and people with disabilities.
