On March 17, 2025, the Denver City Council adopted a resolution approving a $2,856,000 agreement with Jewish Family Service of Colorado to administer the citywide Rapid Rehousing Program. The three-year contract, running from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2027, allocates $952,000 annually to support services for families and individuals transitioning from homelessness. The program provides housing search assistance, rental subsidies, and case management to stabilize participants in permanent housing. Funding will be managed through Denver’s Department of Housing Stability (HOST), with a focus on vulnerable populations and housing equity citywide. The agreement represents a continued investment in scalable, supportive housing strategies aligned with Denver’s broader homelessness resolution initiatives.
Why it Matters
This resolution enables sustained support for one of Denver’s core homelessness response programs. By backing rapid rehousing citywide, the City aims to transition vulnerable individuals into stable housing, improve long-term outcomes, and reduce shelter reliance.
