State Housing Board
The Colorado State Housing Board plays a pivotal role in advising the General Assembly, the Governor, and the Division of Housing on housing needs across the state. Comprising seven members, the State Housing Board is responsible for reviewing financing requests and establishing regulations for factory-built structures and multifamily housing in counties without building codes.

Offices
Executive Director's Office
The Executive Director's Office oversees the primary interface between the State and local communities by supporting and coordinating the Divisions within the Department. The office also provides several key "back office" roles, thereby avoiding unnecessary duplication of effort within the Divisions.
State Demography Office
The State Demography Office serves as Colorado's resource for population and demographic data. The Office collaborates with the U.S. Census Bureau to offer population estimates and forecasts for regions, counties, and municipalities. You can easily explore data resources, featuring visualizations, spreadsheets, and technical documentation, all searchable by topic or geography.
