Coloradans are taking the state's housing crisis into their own hands with a ballot initiative that would direct a portion of the state's income tax to affordable housing projects.

The initiative's proponents say Colorado needs an all-hands approach as home prices have grown out of reach for thousands of Coloradans in recent years. If passed, the measure would provide an estimated $300 million annually to various affordable housing programs across the state.
