What this means
The committee did not meet in full; instead the listed consent items were approved. This means increased subsidy support for new condominium units through the Elevation Community Land Trust, additional funding to expand family shelter capacity at The Crossing by 20 units, and extra funding and a two-month extension for meal services to Denver micro-communities. Residents can expect more affordable home subsidy support and modest increases in shelter and meal services where those programs operate.
