Why Now Is the Time to Act for Colorado Veterans

🚨 The Crisis Is Real — and Growing

• 1,696 combat-injured Colorado veterans are losing $2.03 million monthly due to stalled federal legislation (Major STAR Act).

  
  

• 178 Colorado veterans died by suicide in 2022, the highest on record.

  
  

• Colorado’s economy is losing $24.4 million annually due to retirement benefit offsets.

  
  

These aren’t statistics — they’re signals. Veterans are being left behind, and Colorado can’t afford to wait for Washington to fix it.

🦅 Colorado Is Leading — But Needs You

Recent wins show what’s possible:

• Three new laws went into effect in 2025 to fund mental health services for veterans through Proposition KK.

• Over $600,000 in federal grants were secured for suicide prevention programs in rural and urban Colorado.

• Colorado passed laws to protect veterans from deceptive practices, setting a national example.

  
  

But these victories are just the beginning. Initiative 49 is the next leap — a constitutional amendment to guarantee housing and mobility security for Colorado veterans.
