DENVER — The Denver Housing Authority hopes a 194-unit hotel in the Central Park neighborhood will become the city’s next permanent homeless shelter, but it will need to be rezoned for that to happen.
“Without us being at the table to call out these consequences, we could cause more harm than good in our neighborhood,” said Stephanie Syner, who’s lived in Northeast Park Hill for 15 years. “If you want to build new affordable housing, it might take $400,000 per unit and might take three or four years to get a permanent site built. These are units we can often convert for about $100,000. And right away, you got a kitchen, a shower, a bathroom … it's like a full studio apartment ready to turn the key tomorrow,” said Mayor Johnston.
