About the Mariposa District

The Mariposa District is a Denver Housing Authority mixed-income community in the La Alma/Lincoln Park neighborhood, redeveloped in phases from the former South Lincoln Homes. HUD records list several completed rental phases near Navajo and Osage Streets. Rent in the subsidized units is income-based, set at about 30% of adjusted household income.

How to apply

1. Apply online through denverhousing.org when public housing pre-applications or the Housing Choice Voucher waitlist are open
2. Waitlists open and close periodically and demand is high — check current status with DHA
3. You can indicate community preferences; the Mariposa District may be available
4. When a matching unit is available, DHA contacts you for an eligibility review and an offer

Rent is about 30% of adjusted household income — there is no flat market rent.

Your rights

Colorado bans source-of-income discrimination statewide under HB20-1332 (effective January 1, 2021) — a landlord generally cannot refuse you simply because you would pay with a Housing Choice Voucher. Landlords with three or fewer rental units are exempt.

Neighborhood

La Alma/Lincoln Park sits just southwest of downtown Denver, served by RTD bus routes and the 10th & Osage light rail station.
