BOULDER - On October 23, 2024, Lt. Governor Primavera attended and provided remarks at the Boulder Mod Factory ribbon-cutting ceremony. This innovative partnership between the City of Boulder, Boulder Valley School District, and Flatirons Habitat for Humanity will help create more housing Coloradans can afford where they want to live. 

“A safe home that you can afford should not be out of reach in Colorado. That's why our administration has been laser-focused on building more housing options in every corner of the state. We have cut government red tape, eliminated outdated and discriminatory housing policies, and made it easier and cheaper for Coloradans to find housing near transportation options. Innovative solutions like Modular homes are an important part of our approach to make housing more equitable and inclusive, and this facility will do just that for Boulder and the greater region,” said Lt. Governor Primavera. Lt.

This facility is a partnership with the Boulder Valley School District. Career and Technical Education (CTE) program students will work alongside Habitat for Humanity staff and volunteers to get hands-on skills and experience, helping them prepare for good-paying jobs. 

Boulder Mod Factory will produce nearly 50 homes each year once operating at full capacity. All units produced at this facility will be dedicated to affordable housing, helping the city and larger region meet its housing goals. In 2022 Governor Polis signed HB22-1282 - The Innovative Housing Incentive Program, sponsored by Representatives Kyle Mullica and Mike Lynch, and Senators Jeff Bridges and Rob Woodward which created incentives to bring more innovative hosing producers to Colorado. Through this effort the state has invested over $40 million dollars into innovative housing solutions such as modular housing through OEDIT’s Innovative Housing Incentive Program, creating housing Coloradans can afford and bolstering good-paying jobs in innovative manufacturing.
