The Colorado Coalition of the Homeless wants to redevelop a corner it has owned in West Wash Park for decades.
The nonprofit has asked Denver to rezone the lots at 589 and 595 S. Lincoln St., as well as 35 E. Center Ave.
The site is 9,380 square feet, or just over 0.2 acres, according to property records. In its December application, the coalition said rezoning would allow it to redevelop the site into multifamily housing.
Colorado Coalition spokeswoman Cathy Alderman said the houses have been vacant since 2023 and would require significant repairs in order to be rented again.
The idea is to knock down the structures dating to the early 1900s and start fresh.
“We are still very much in the design phase but want to provide as many units of affordable housing as possible,” Alderman said in an email. “We hope to provide around 20 units … but it will be completely dependent on the zoning and permitting process.”
The coalition has requested U-RH-3A. That generally allows for projects up to three stories, but income-restricted housing projects are sometimes eligible for additional height.
