Denver stopped accepting new applications for theat 11:59 p.m. Friday as federal money allocated to support struggling renters in the city and state dries up.
The leader of a nonprofit organization that has helped distribute millions of dollars of assistance payments to struggling renters in Denver and across Colorado over the last few years is hopeful other, closer-to-home funding sources can be found to keep people in stable housing until the effects of, the recently passed dedicated affordable housing funding mechanism in the state, can be felt next year.
On Nov. 1, the Denver Department of Housing Stability, or HOST, started to wind down the local ERAP program, only accepting new, first-time applications since that date. But after Friday even those applications will no longer be accepted, housing department officials said. Between Nov. 1 and Friday afternoon, the city has fielded 1,112 new, first-time applications for ERAP, according to housing department spokeswoman Sabrina Allie.
