DENVER — An unhoused Colorado couple who have faced roadblocks accessing resources was able to get a little bit of help from Denver’s Human Services Department recently, but now they say they’re back to square one due to a prior eviction.
"They treat you worse than a leper because they don't want to have anything to do with you. The minute you say eviction, it's like, 'Oh no can't do anything,” said the man. Laws the project might help people understand include things like how to remove an eviction from your record, which Rafter said requires an agreement from the landlord, and then the court has to approve it. Rafter said if that doesn't happen, she can connect people to landlords who might be willing to overlook an eviction.
