Housing 180 helps people and families in transition

Rising Rents Mean More Families without Homes

Our community is growing, making it hard to find a place to call home—especially for our neighbors who already struggle to make ends meet. Housing 180 helps people and families in transition pay below-market rent for up to three years.

HOW ARE PROGRAM WORKS

• Our nonprofit partners refer people who are vulnerable yet capable of earning an income that will eventually allow them to pay market-rate for their home. Housing 180 subsidizes a portion of rent. As the family experiences more stability, the portion of rent they pay increases. 

• We work with landlords and community members in the southwest Denver-metro area to help find affordable, safe apartments.

• In exchange for a rental subsidy, people who qualify for Housing 180 volunteer at Cafe 180, a community cafe in Englewood where everybody eats, regardless of ability to pay. 

• This nonprofit program is supported by local realtors and other businesses who generously donate a percentage of their revenue to help our nonprofit pay rent for the families we serve.
