Breaking Ground on Permanent Supportive Housing for Denver’s Chronically Homeless
Colorado Coalition for the Homeless breaks ground on Renaissance Downtown Lofts, partnering with Denver’s Social Impact Bond initiative to provide permanent supportive housing to 100 chronically homeless individuals.
DENVER, August 24, 2016—Colorado Coalition for the Homeless is breaking ground on Renaissance Downtown Lofts, its latest development to provide permanent supportive housing to Denver’s chronically homeless. In collaboration with the City and County of Denver’s Social Impact Bond initiative, the Coalition will provide 100 apartment homes to the program through the Renaissance Downtown Lofts property. The combined effort with the City’s Social Impact Bond program will save the city an average of $29,000 per resident in emergency-related costs, transform the lives of 100 of Denver’s most vulnerable citizens, and improve the quality of life in the downtown neighborhood by reducing the number of individuals who are forced to call the streets their home.
