Construction crews are still hard at work on the Rose on Colfax, an 82-unit affordable housing complex that will serve families in Denver's East Colfax neighborhood.
The building, which will be operated by Mercy Housing, includes one-bedroom to four-bedroom units. It will also feature an affordable early childhood education space in a neighborhood where childcare is hard to come by.
“We want to do our part by bringing these units online as quickly as possible,” said Shelly Marquez, president of Mercy Housing Mountain Plains. “A lot of it has to do with a generator needing to be moved here on site. So, it does require inspections for us, and the fire department to come out and do inspections,” said Marquez."We legally can't move residents in until we have final inspection and sign off from the city.”
"If they can do month to month where they're at, that will be their best bet until we can get folks moved in,” said Marquez.
