According to Denver’s Department of Housing Stability, in March, there were 771 eviction filings in the City and County of Denver. In March 2019, before the pandemic began, there were 708.
“I think we all knew that at some point, we would see evictions climb, which we saw in 2022,” said Denver’s Chief Housing Officer Britta Fisher.

“We’re concerned, and we have some great plans and some great partners that are doing everything possible to help our residents and address those concerns,” Fisher said. “At the same time, it is hard to see those numbers creep back up, and really our goal is that we help those to come back down and give people the resources that are currently available.”
