Denver needs a Tenants Movement. No evictions. Housing is a human right. Join a tenants' union! If you're in Denver - @denvermetroTU
We needed lot rent stabilization in HB1287 - period. Stand up for mobile homeowners with us 6.30.22 ✊🏠 bit.ly/lotrent @TogetherCO #HousingJustice
2% of Denver tenants who were evicted (during a CDC eviction moratorium, no less) in the last 2 weeks of June had legal representation.
Per Colorado's eviction prevention task force: "As of Jan. 2020, 150,000 Colorado households paid more than 50% of their gross household income in housing costs ('severe cost burden'). ... Severely cost burdened households have been rising and could reach 360,000 by year end."
Tenants: I’m receiving warrants of eviction. I’m about to be homeless. Electeds: Evictions aren’t happening and they’re not a problem. Electeds have apparently lost their development of object permanence-if they can’t see it in front of them, it doesn’t exist.
