Housing Facility For Homeless, Low-Income Residents Breaks Ground
DENVER (CBS4) - Organizers with the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless broke ground on a 129-unit housing development in northeast Denver on Friday, the latest step in helping low-income and homeless residents find housing in the metro area.
The Renaissance at North Colorado Station, located at 39th Avenue and Colorado Boulevard, sits on a 1.63-acre site and provides affordable housing and on-site support services. It's located three blocks from a future commuter rail station that connects downtown Denver and Denver International Airport.
"We actually couldn't wait to break ground because the needs in our community for housing for homeless families and individuals are so extreme that we need to do everything we can to advance the date for the apartments for homeless individuals in our community," a representative said.
The development was the brain child of a high school student who wanted to raise money to help the homeless.
