DENVER – On Saturday, the Northeast Park Hill Coalition will host a housing forum to discuss ways to help renters and homeowners.
“We have an event this Saturday 9 a.m to 4 p.m, in which we endeavor to educate and illuminate the housing issues that are facing Northeast Denver — in fact, facing all of Denver. As you know, Denver is in an affordable housing crisis emergency, and it particularly hits hard in certain portions of the city, and specifically in northeast Denver,” said Kevin Marchman, president of the Northeast Park Hill Coalition and founder of the National Organization of African Americans in Housing .
According to Denver’s Department of Housing Stability , the city is on track to have a record number of evictions this year.Marchman said the event will include housing experts and community advocates who will help attendees navigate eviction and foreclosure issues as well as address first-time homebuyer questions.
“Housing is the most important investment a family or individual is going to make and it can't be taken lightly. You should feel completely comfortable going through the different processes, whether it's a mortgage bank, or a commercial bank, or nonprofit, or a place like the Denver Housing Authority for rental issues or the Colorado Housing Finance Authority for homebuyer sessions,” Marchman said.
