The Denver City Council on Monday will consider accepting a $2 million state grant to provide homeless people with essential services that include transitioning from temporary shelters into permanent housing.
Denver’s housing department plans to use the money for rapid rehousing efforts throughout the city over the next two years.
If approved, Denver will receive funds from Colorado’s “Transformational Homelessness Response” grant program until Sept. 30, 2026. The program aims to provide services including mental health treatment as well as temporary and permanent housing opportunities.
