Denver is holding three public meetings, starting this week, to collect feedback on its draft comprehensive housing plan.
This is the plan that will guide the city's spending on housing over the next five years. The goal is to create or preserve 3,000 units of affordable housing and help 30,000 households with programs that provide stability for people at risk of displacement during that time period.
The plan tries to address housing needs across the spectrum, from people living on the streets and households with middle-income jobs who are getting priced out of Denver, and proposed policies range from building more supportive housing to offering more tax rebates and home repair help to homeowners on fixed incomes.
You can read the full plan here -- in English or in Spanish -- and you can also comment on the plan online through Nov. 13.
But if you want a chance to talk to Denver housing officials about the plan, you'll have three chances in the next few weeks, starting Wednesday evening.
