Denver proposes an affordable housing policy that would earmark spots for displaced residents.
. It calls for requiring affordable-housing developments and new developments with mandatory affordable housing to earmark 30 percent of those units for individuals and families that are either at risk of displacement from their Denver homes or were already displaced between 2000 and today. People with family members who were displaced from Denver between 1939 and 2000 would also be prioritized.
Before joining HOST in June 2021, Kyle had been working on the proposal while on the staff of Councilwoman."About four years ago, we started looking into preference policies around the country, and HOST determined that it was a priority for the plan and brought me on to help bring it across the finish line and get us an involuntary displacement policy to help with that," Kyle recalls.
For the proposed policy to apply to the required affordable housing built into an otherwise market-rate development, the building must have 100 or more units. If there's an 8 percent affordable-housing unit requirement for a 100-unit building, then three of those required eight units would need to be prioritized for people who fall into the displacement category, for example. How those who qualify for priority housing are ranked would be determined by a points system.
