Comment on Housing Authority closes on $26M hotel purchase for city homeless shelter

The Denver Housing Authority has closed on the purchase of a northeast Denver hotel that the city plans to lease for use as a homeless shelter. The organization’s $25.95 million purchase of the 194-unit former Best Western at 4595 Quebec St., which it announced in late July, closed on Wednesday, records show. The city said in a news release last month that it would lease the property from the Denver Housing Authority and contract with an organization to operate as a non-congregate shelter with supportive services.
