Department of Housing Stability

The Department of Housing Stability builds a healthy, housed, and connected Denver. We invest resources, create policy, and partner with organizations to keep people in the homes they already live in, to quickly resolve an experience of homelessness, and to connect people to affordable housing opportunities. We do this by:

Stabilizing people at risk of involuntary displacement and connecting them to housing resources
Supporting people experiencing a crisis and connecting them to shelter services and short-term and permanent housing
Creating and preserving existing affordable housing
Connecting residents at any income level to new housing opportunities

Individuals may donate directly to Denver's public/private Housing and Homeless Services Fund, for which Mile High United Way is serving as fiscal sponsor. Your gift will provide immediate support and services for Denver residents experiencing homelessness. Thank you!
