Did you know that this year Denver is projected to reach record high eviction filings? It is predicted that eviction filings for 2024 are predicted to hit 15,000. Through July of 2024, there have been over 9,000 evictions compared to 12,910 in 2023, 8,863 in 2022, and 4,879 in 2021. One of the reasons for this is due to the rising cost of living with the cost of a one-bedroom apartment increasing by $100-$150 each year. While these stats are alarming, it goes to show how much the services of Family Promise are needed to assist those being evicted due to the rising cost of living.
