Denver housing committee advances $63,750 boost for homelessness services
The proposed increase would raise the 2026 service target to 225 households, 85 more than planned; City Council consideration is scheduled for Sept. 29.
Denver’s Community Planning and Housing Committee approved a proposed $63,750 increase for the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless on Sept. 22. The increase would bring the contract to $6,512,345 and raise the 2026 target for housing stabilization services from 140 to 225 households, the city’s contract request says.
The Housing Central Command Stabilization project is intended to help people maintain housing after subsidized rent assistance and case management end. Services include mobile case managers, at least monthly in-person meetings, transportation when needed, coordination with landlords and housing providers, and planning for the end of services. Support may last up to 12 months.
Denver’s Housing Central Command refers participants to the project. The contract describes them as people formerly experiencing homelessness. Its term runs from Jan. 1, 2026, through Dec. 31, 2028.
The committee approved the proposal by consent, its minutes show. That is not final City Council approval; the resolution is scheduled for council consideration on Sept. 29, the agenda states.
