Housing policy sits at the intersection of real estate economics, community planning, workforce development, and local government authority. Confluence has facilitated the state’s examination of corporate housing ownership and convened regional leaders around workforce housing needs, bringing the same process discipline to an issue area where competing interests are fierce and durable agreements are rare.

Legislation creating the Corporate Housing Ownership Task Force
In 2023, HB23-1253 created a Task Force to examine the effect of corporate ownership of residential real estate on communities across the state. The Task Force was charged with determining a methodology to assess the impact of corporate ownership and developing legislative recommendations to address any negative effects identified.
Confluence PSG was selected by the State Demography Office to facilitate the Task Force’s discussions, support outreach and input from groups across the state, and prepare the final report. The work brought together real estate industry representatives, housing advocates, community organizations, and data experts to examine an issue with significant political complexity and competing economic interests.

A town manager facing a growing housing crisis sought to bring regional leaders together to identify short and long-term strategies for addressing workforce and broader housing needs. Confluence President Berrick Abramson developed and facilitated a regional summit of city, county, private sector, nonprofit, and community leaders.
The summit produced specific, actionable strategies addressing permitting, accessory dwelling units, cross-agency coordination, public-private partnerships, and both short and long-term housing development opportunities.
