Great to join trinidadstate colleagues to see the progress being made by Colorado Partnership for Education and Rural Revitalization (COPERR). ⠀ ⠀ The Colorado Attorney General’s Office, as part of COPERR, is granting up to $5 million to Trinidad State Junior College, Lamar Community College, and Otero Junior College to develop skilled trades programs that will ⠀ 👉🏽address labor shortages ⠀ 👉🏽 increase availability of affordable housing ⠀ in Otero, Prowers, Las Animas, Crowley, Kiowa, Bent, and Baca counties. ⠀ ⠀ COPERR is funded through money the state received from the national mortgage settlement, a settlement reached in 2012 after 49 states sued mortgage servicers after the 2008 financial crisis.⠀ ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ ⠀ #coattnygeneral #coag #phil4co #phil4colorado #peopleslawyer #peopleslawyerco #PhilWeiser #philweiserforcolorado #philweiserco #Trinidad #oterocounty #lamar #mortgage #affordablehousing
