Huge Coalition Announces Intention to Defeat Measure 2F

NO on 2F: Keep Denver Housed has launched a community-led campaign to defeat measure 2F on Denver’s November ballot -- a referendum that would exacerbate the affordable housing crisis in Denver and take away the option for hard working nurses, teachers and others to share their housing costs.

We are excited to announce the large coalition of organizations, elected officials and community leaders that have come together to send the message that Denver voters should vote NO on 2F because Denver can’t afford to take away options for adults to share housing, especially as people are struggling to recover from the pandemic.

If the ballot measure passes it would repeal Denver’s Group Living Ordinance, which would have a significant and harmful impact and limit affordable housing options in Denver. All Denver residents, no matter what we look like, where we come from deserve a safe place to call home.

The following organizations, elected officials and local leaders are the first to endorse No on 2F: Keep Denver Housed.
