Services include job readiness training, parenting education, financial health support, and life skills aimed at helping families move toward independent, permanent housing.

Robust Support Services for Single Parent Families

The program serves single-parent families, primarily women as heads of household, who are homeless or housing insecure. Many residents have limited work histories or education and are working in unstable, minimum wage jobs or are attending school full time.

Located at 1155 Decatur Street in Denver’s Sun Valley neighborhood, Decatur Place Apartments is a four story complex with 106 units. The facility includes free onsite amenities such as a food bank, clothing and household goods bank, computer lab, playground and childcare with educational classes.

Income Based Fees

Residents commit to a lease agreement and must meet service requirements, such as attending a minimum number of classes, maintaining work or school in full time or combined status. Rent is income based and households pay about 30% of their income toward rent, making the housing affordable and tied to personal progress.

To begin, interested single parent families apply through Mercy Housing’s Decatur Place property in Denver and complete intake with resident services staff. From there, applicants discuss eligibility based on income, employment or school status, and sign a lease agreement before moving in.
