Denver Temporary Rental and Utility Assistance Program 

Brothers Redevelopment is thrilled to announce the return of the City of Denver’s Temporary Rental and Utility Assistance (TRUA) Program! We understand the challenges many households face, and we’re here to provide support.

How TRUA Can Help You:

  • Rental Assistance: Up to 6 months of rental assistance may be provided one time within a 24-month period. This may include rental arrears, the current month’s rent, and up to one month of future rent.
  • Utility Assistance: Assistance may be provided for current and past-due bills from Denver Water and/or Xcel Energy (electric, gas). Utility assistance may be provided one time per utility within a 24-month period and will only be provided at the same time as rental assistance; households may not apply for standalone utility assistance.
  • Relocation Assistance: Only available in instances when eviction cannot be prevented. This may include security deposit, first month’s rent, application fees, and other eligible move-in costs. Deposit and first month’s rent will count as one month each toward the 6-month maximum. Relocation assistance may be provided one time within a 24-month period and will only be provided at the same time as rental assistance
  • Minimum Eligibility Criteria: Household income must not exceed 80% Area Median Income (AMI)
    Household must be experiencing a financial hardship
    The residence for which assistance is being requested must be the primary residence and located in both the City AND County of Denver

If you or someone you know is facing challenges with rental payments, utility bills, or needs assistance with relocation costs, the TRUA Program is here to help.
