Denver’s dedicated Affordable Housing Fund has taken in $335 million over a decade, according to a November 5 city accounting. Housing officials say the fund helped make 7,699 homes possible across 91 developments, including new construction and preservation.
The fund draws from property tax, development linkage fees, recreational marijuana sales tax and the General Fund. The housing department administers roughly $30 million annually for eligible housing projects and services, including rental assistance and eviction support.
The city’s home count includes 900 permanent supportive housing units for people leaving homelessness. These figures describe Denver’s reported investment and production record. They do not measure how many households still need help or establish that housing costs have fallen citywide.
