DENVER — The Denver Regional Council of Governments recently released a housing report stating that there is a current need for more than 52,000 housing units and a need for more than 500,000 by 2050.“As we've seen through the last couple of decades, Denver's experienced tremendous growth,” said Sheila Lynch, director of regional planning and development for DRCOG. “Despite periodic building booms, the housing production has not kept up with population growth and job growth.
Lynch said that the biggest need is for the people making the least amount of money and that current housing does not support the diversity of housing needs across all income levels and household types.“For these additional units that we see need to come into our region,” said Lynch. “Almost 60% of those units really should be for those earning 60% of the area median income or less.
