Denver’s Department of Housing Stability (HOST) today issued a draft review version of its 2024 Action Plan. The action plan outlines specific work informed by the HOST Five-Year Strategic Plan, the city’s comprehensive housing and homelessness resolution strategy.
The 2024 Action Plan in English and Spanish is available for comment through Friday, Nov. 17. Feedback and suggestions on the plan can be submitted via a community survey.
A virtual public meeting addressing the plan will be held at 5 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 16.
