Denver's Department of Housing Stability (HOST) proposed a $205.6 million 2026 budget, citing the end of pandemic-era one-time funding that will force reductions in shelter, outreach, and rental assistance services while preserving key locally funded programs according to item [4].

The City Council advanced a plan to extend developer deadlines by 3 years, potentially saving roughly 22,600 planned residential units from expiration due to a sharp decline in multi-unit building permit demand according to item [4].
