Denver residents have until Oct. 10 to digitally weigh in on the city’s proposed 2020 housing policy and spending priorities.

The Denver Economic Development & Opportunity office last week released a draft version of the city’s 2020 Housing Action Plan. It is available online in both English and Spanish at https://dpo.st/draftplan.

Those interested in providing input on the plan are asked to fill out an online survey accessible through the city site.

The 61-page document was created under the guidance of the city’s five-year housing plan adopted in 2018, with input from the city’s housing advisory committee, according to a news release. The plan shows the city has more than $30.6 million available for housing next year. Of that, the largest chunk — $12.9 million — would be dedicated to addressing homelessness.

The housing advisory committee will consider final changes to the plan later this fall.
