Leverage is an independent, nonpartisan advocacy organization dedicated to making aging more affordable in Colorado.
At the heart of our work is a simple belief: we should have the opportunity to age with dignity, security, and financial stability. No one should spend their later years worrying about whether they can afford a home, put food on the table, access the care they need, or remain an active part of the community they call home.
Our work is centered on:
- Policy Integration: Demographic analysis becomes a standard component of policy and fiscal decision-making
- Aligned Systems: State programs and services reflect the needs of a aging population
- Stronger Workforce Participation: More Coloradans remain engaged in the workforce longer
- Improved Economic Security: Greater stability across housing, retirement, and caregiving systems
- Sustainable Financing: Long-term strategies to manage growing demand without destabilizing budgets
Mission
To advance smart, equitable policies that make aging more affordable in Colorado
Background Statement
The most predictable force influencing Colorado’s future is not AI, climate change, or partisan politics – it is our changing demography.
We are experiencing a profound demographic shift that will reshape our economy and communities for decades to come. In Colorado, the population aged 80 and older is projected to grow by 75% (over 150,000 people) over the next decade.
Leverage exists to help Colorado proactively respond to this reality, and economic security is at the heart of that work.
When we have the financial resources we need as we age, we have real choices about where we live, whether or not we keep working, how we choose to contribute, and how we care for the people we love. That freedom to choose is the foundation of dignified aging and increased quality of life for our community.
Our mission is to advance smart, equitable policies that make aging more affordable in Colorado. Our vision is a state where everyone can build economic security and opportunity at every stage of life.
