Diana DeGette (D-CO) announced today that she has secured more than $20.8 million to help fund 11 projects in the Denver area as part of a government spending bill the U.S. House approved this afternoon. The projects are designed to make more housing, food and other essential services available to those in need throughout the Mile High city. Among the projects that would be funded under the legislation is $4 million to help Warren Village build dozens of new apartments for single-parent families struggling to make ends meet and in need of a place to live; $1 million to help Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver build several new single-family homes in Villa Park; and $4 million to help Colorado Coalition for the Homeless purchase a hotel in North Denver and convert it into more housing for those who are experiencing homelessness. "No family should have to worry whether they'll be able to put food on their table or a roof over their heads at night," DeGette said. "Every one of these projects has the potential to provide a much-needed lifeline to someone in need. And for those struggling to make ends meet or desperately searching for an affordable place to live, the help these projects will provide can't come soon enough." In addition to securing more than $10 million to help those experiencing homelessness or food insecurity in the Denver area as part of this year's spending bill, DeGette also secured an additional $4 million for Denver's Regional Transportation District to increase safety for riders along its downtown corridor, and $2 million for Denver's Office of Climate Action Sustainability and Resilience to increase the energy efficiency of more than 100 affordable housing units throughout the Denver area. The legislation, which the House approved by a vote of 220 - 207, now heads to the Senate for its consideration. If ultimately approved, the more than $20.8 million DeGette secured for Denver-area projects in this year's spending bill would come on top of the $13.3 million she successfully secured in last year's spending bill to help fund a series of projects aimed at helping those experiencing homelessness in her district. In addition to the funding approved today by the House, DeGette has also requested more than $3.3 million to fund several other Denver-area projects aimed at providing additional health services to those in need, which the House is expected to consider next week. Following is the full list of Denver-area projects DeGette secured in the spending bill the House approved today: | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:49:02Z |
