About COLORADO CENTER ON LAW AND POLICY

The Colorado Center on Law and Policy (CCLP) is a Denver-based, 501(c)(3) antipoverty legal and policy organization that advances economic security, access to health care, housing stability, and food security for low-income Coloradans. The organization uses research and policy analysis, legislative and legal advocacy, and coalition-building to remove systemic barriers to economic mobility. CCLP operates statewide, produces policy research and public comments, brings administrative and civil-rights complaints and litigation when necessary, and leads or participates in multi-organization coalitions on issues including Medicaid access, eviction and housing policy, immigrant supports, and prescription drug affordability. The EIN provided (84-1264154) was confirmed against public nonprofit filings and organizational records, matching the Colorado Center on Law and Policy.

Notable achievements

Filed federal civil-rights complaint (2024)

In February 2024 CCLP, in partnership with a national legal partner, filed an expedited civil-rights complaint with federal agencies alleging discriminatory administration of Colorado Medicaid case management and enrollment processes that led to widespread, harmful disenrollments of vulnerable beneficiaries.

Influenced statewide legal-aid funding

CCLP’s legislative and coalition advocacy contributed to state-level actions that secured new funding streams to expand legal-aid and tenant-defense resources, including measures enacted in the 2024 legislative cycle to increase support for community legal services.

Authoritative research on housing and poverty

CCLP’s research products—such as the widely cited report on eviction patterns in Denver and ongoing reports on program access and the Self-Sufficiency Standard—have informed local and state policy debates and helped shape legal and legislative strategies addressing eviction, homelessness, and program access.
