🚨 CALL TO ACTION: STOP HOUSING DISCRIMINATION 🚨
To all Roaring Fork Valley Workers and the Ambassadors forced to resign:
Aspen Skiing Company is one of the largest landlords in the region. Under Colorado's Fair Housing laws, a large-scale landlord cannot discriminate based on employment status to bypass the Rental Application Fairness Act or the For-Cause Eviction (HB24-1098) protections.
If you were one of the 30 Ambassadors forced to resign on March 31, or if you are a seasonal worker being told you have "no right" to a long-term application: The Law Is On Your Side.
THE GOAL: Force ASC to provide legal rental applications and written screening criteria to all applicants, regardless of their current status with the company.
WHERE TO SEND YOUR REQUESTS :
- Up Valley Housing Office: housingoffice@aspen.com
- Down Valley Housing Office: dvhousing@aspen.com
- CC the HUD OIG Agent: JBrooks@hudoig.gov
WHAT TO WRITE:
- "I am formally requesting a long-term rental application and your written screening criteria per the Rental Application Fairness Act."
- "Please clarify your policy on 'Source of Income' discrimination and why housing is being used as a retaliatory tool against the workforce and former ambassadors."
- "I am requesting a response within 20 days as required by Colorado law."
JUSTICE FOR THE AMBASSADORS:
SkiCo cannot use their influence over local government to hide these issues. Whether you have a 30-year badge or a 1-season contract, you have the right to a safe, legal, and non-discriminatory home.
STAY INFORMED. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
Report all Fair Housing violations directly to the HUD OIG and the Colorado Civil Rights Division.
