Bedrooms Are For People, in collaboration with the Boulder Housing Coalition, is thrilled to announce a Housing Victory Party to celebrate the landmark achievement of the statewide ban on occupancy limits in Colorado. This historic change now makes it legal for all people to share housing across the state.

Bedrooms Are For People, the organization formed in 2020 to end Boulder’s use of occupancy limits by relationship status, has actively supported the legislation and welcomes its passage statewide. Our organization thanks Representatives Manny Rutinel and Javier Mabrey and Senators Julie Gonzalez and Tony Exum for sponsoring this groundbreaking and greatly needed legislation.

The celebratory event will take place on Thursday, June 13 at DV8 Distillery from 6pm-11pm.

DENVER, CO – Legislation to address the health care workforce shortage passed the House Education Committee today unanimously. SB22-003 would permit community colleges to offer BSN programs to nursing students.

“We’re tackling the health care workforce shortage head on,” said Kyle Mullica D-Federal Heights. “Pandemic pressures have only added to the stress and burnout the nursing community has been dealing with. This bill will fast track Coloradans on a path to earning their BSN and will help hospitals find more qualified, talented health care professionals. I’m incredibly proud of the tireless work my nursing colleagues have put in over the past two years to keep Coloradans safe and healthy, now’s our chance to give them the break they deserve by boosting their workforce.”

“Expanding the number of colleges who can offer BSN programs is a win-win for Colorado,” said Tony Exum, D-Colorado Springs. “We’re focused on getting more health care professionals in high-paying, impactful careers and this bill paves the way to increasing Colorado’s nursing workforce.”

If passed, SB22-003 would make it easier for students pursuing certificates in nursing to enroll in Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing (BSN) programs at community colleges. The need for this bill comes at a time when Colorado is facing a significant shortage of health care workers. This bill addresses this need by streamlining the education process for future nurses and getting them in the field faster.
