The city, and county, of Denver is the capital of the state of Colorado. As a county, Denver is the second most populous in the Centennial State, with an estimated population of around six hundred thousand. Denver is an elevated city, exactly a mile above sea level, hence the moniker “Mile-High City”. It is among the highest large-scale cities in the country. The city/county of Denver has more than a few neighborhoods that have decent, if not great, quality of living. As far as the climate is concerned, there are four distinct seasons experienced throughout the year. However, like all cities situated along the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains, Denver may experience sudden changes in weather. There are many affordable housing opportunities available in this city, mainly because of the programs provided by the city’s housing authority and its partnership with local organizations and private agencies operating within the city/county area.
Affordable Housing in Denver, CO
The affordable housing programs administered by the Denver Housing Authority (DHA) are generally focused on providing assistance to low income families and individuals, persons with disabilities, and senior citizens. The main goal is to provide a decent and safe home to every resident. There are three basic housing opportunities available to interested parties – subsidized housing, affordable housing, and market-rate housing. Income limits are applied to the first two housing options. For low income families, the DHA owns and operates more than three thousand subsidized housing units throughout the city. The properties vary in size and number of rooms, from townhomes to condos or high-rise communities. You can find good rental housing deals online, as well as check prices, compare features, and view floor plans. There are free applications available as well, if you are interested in any of the agency’s affordable housing programs.
Rental Assistance in Denver, CO
The Section 8 Program, otherwise known as the Housing Choice Voucher Program, is a rental assistance program also offered by the city’s housing authority. It is, however, funded by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The aim of the program is to provide rent subsidies to low income families based on the household earnings. The DHA will deal with the landlord directly for rent payments, so all the tenant will worry about is paying the difference. If you need rental assistance, you should start filing for an application now. And maybe you should check other affordable housing deals and apartments with paid utilities as well. That should save you some money for other expenses.
