DENVER — Eviction filings in Denver are at an all-time high. A new report shows 1,641 eviction filings in August 2024, the second highest since 2019. The highest number of eviction filings was earlier this year, in April 2024, with a total of 1,670. That is something Zach Neumann, co-founder of the Community Economic Defense Project , works to fight every single day. 'I mean, the numbers are appalling,' Neumann said.
I'm just going to move and either, you know, figure this out by living with family,' or they enter homelessness.'Neumann told Denver7 the lawyers on his team go directly to court to help those facing eviction filings. He said on Tuesday, there were more than 200 Denver households that had an eviction filing return date in court. 'Our community has gotten really unaffordable, and we see that most prominently in these appalling eviction numbers,' he said.
