Housing an Inclusive Denver - Draft for Review

 The Office of Economic Development, the Office of HOPE, Denver’s Road Home and the City’s Housing Advisory Committee have been working over the last several months to develop a comprehensive housing plan to guide policy and investments in affordable housing development, preservation and programs. The public review draft of the plan, Housing an Inclusive Denver, outlines our values and core goals for housing policy in Denver, including:

Fundamental Values

• Leverage and enhance housing investments
• Foster communities of opportunity
• Support housing as a continuum
• Embrace diversity throughout neighborhoods

Core Goals

• Create affordable housing in vulnerable areas AND in areas of opportunity
•  Preserve affordability and housing quality
• Promote equitable and accessible housing options
• Stabilize residents at risk of involuntary displacement

The Public Review draft is available for public comment over the next 45 days on the Office of Economic Development’s website at www.denvergov.org/housing. Please note that the Public Review Draft is currently available in English and will be available on OED’s website in the coming two weeks in Spanish as well. Public comment on the Public Review Draft will be collected via this link through November 13, 2017. At the end of the public comment period, the City team will review comments received from the public, stakeholders, and members of City Council and update the final version of the plan as appropriate for subsequent approval by City Council.
