Speeding Up the Process: Denver Residents and Renters Across the US Wonder If They'll Receive Assistance Before Eviction Notices As City Struggles to Disperse Funds Quickly

Straight From The Hip with Courtney Jones

We all know that renting has always come with its own headaches, but this past year has caused many more problems than usual for many homeowners in Denver, and other cities across the country.

Evictions are increasing at an alarming rate because of the recent economic slump. There are already dozens of families around the country who still haven't received a portion of the Federal aid allotted to keep them in their homes, due to difficulty in disbursing funds that seems to be holding back most states.

This happens after hundreds have already been evicted from their homes before they could even apply for aid at all!

In this episode I'm exploring Denver's growth, Hatch Chiles, tent cities, and what Denver's doing to move the needle. Tune In!
