Scott,

This attached draft legislation looks rather interesting from what I read.  It is for a sustainable community using a “universal design” in Colorado.  Although not directly related to blindness, we may wish to keep an eye on this effort.

At last, someone is stepping forward to build a universal design community in the Denver Metro area.  It happens to be Aaron Harber, a friend of mine every since I ran for Jeffco Treasurer in 1992.  Aaron has consistently supported the rights of people with disabilities and is taking one more step to secure those rights by building an all accessible community.  His proposal includes a community that is also affordable and self sustaining.  We are probably going to need your support by lobbying legislators when this bill is presented in the next legislative session.  Please let Aaron know that he can count on your support  aharber at msn.com<mailto:aharber at msn.com>

Thanks, Joe.  The best way to help is to have organizations and individuals formally endorse the effort with a letter sent by December 15th to Governor John Hickenlooper, Speaker Crisanta Duran, and Senate President Kevin Grantham.



Then, when the Bill is introduced, having people come and testify in favor of the Bill would be great.



Any organizations and people you can get onboard would be great.  There have to many people concerned about Affordable Housing, Accessible Housing, and Sustainability.



Former State Senator Penfield Tate is helping us shepherd the Bill through the legislative process so I am copying him here.



I have attached the most recent version of the Bill for you.  Thanks for whatever you can do!  Keep me posted.  I’ll do the same.



In the meantime, have a great Thanksgiving.  



Aaron

Hi Aaron -



It is great to hear from you!!!  Wow!  This is exciting - something we've talked about for a long time. You probable know a lot more about Real Estate law than I do but your proposal sounds fantastic to me.  You probably did not send me this to hear me cheer.  How can I help you with this project?  I really like the self sufficiency part.  There is a lot more to affordable housing than the initial cost.  I'm so glad to see you took that into consideration (page 4, line 7) in addition to making the house accessible.



Joe

Dear Joe,



How are you doing?  I hope all is well.



As you know, I have proposed creating a truly Sustainable community with extensive Affordable Housing based on a micro-housing concept.



Per our discussions some time ago, the proposal includes the concept of applying Universal Design standards to the entire municipality so as to ensure 100% access for those with disabilities.



I still do not believe this ever has been done so I am very excited about the concept.



We will be proposing a Bill in the upcoming Session of the General Assembly and would like to have the endorsement and formal support of as many organizations involved in issues related to people with disabilities.



I’ve attached a copy of a draft of the Bill for you and would love to have your help.



Please call me any time to discuss this and tell me what you think.  Thanks!   



Aaron
