Finding housing and jobs in downtown Denver is tough. By joining forces, the Denver Housing Authority, CU Denver and Metropolitan State University could help.
In January 2021, David Nisivoccia took over as chief executive officer of the Denver Housing Authority.in downtown Denver, and after moving here from Texas — where he ran the San Antonio Housing Authority — Nisivoccia would drive around the campus wondering why there was no partnership between the Auraria schools and the DHA.
“We've really had a chance to see all of the wonderful ways that [DHA is] blending their planned communities, incorporating workforce developments with their housing,” says Anthony Graves, managing director of partnerships and innovation at. “We had a chance to host them at CU Denver to talk to them about the needs of our students and, really, students across the Auraria campus that may be facing housing insecurity.
At the time, he didn’t realize he was homeless. He says many people in college don’t recognize their homelessness because it can look vastly different depending on the situation. “We want to be a player in those,” Nisivoccia says. “We want to be the affordable-housing developer and be part of the discussion and equation of how we deliver that affordable housing.”For example, CU Denver wants to create an “innovation district” of mixed-use development that helps create intellectual property and discovers solutions to problems. Affordable housing must be part of such a district, Graves insists.
