Re: Just need a second chance renting an apartment
Posted: Sun Jan 04, 2026 11:17 am
My name is Candace. I have been homeless for a long time, and I am not aware of any services that I might qualify for a second chance to rent a place. My daughter, Alexia, is 15 years old and has been in the custody of Denver Social Services since 2019. She was recently released from juvenile parole and could have paroled back to me, but I do not have stable housing. I need housing assistance, and I am running out of time before I have to return to court in January.
Lack of housing is the number one barrier preventing us from reuniting and closing this long case.
I am currently receiving Unemployment Insurance Assistance and am actively seeking employment. I am having a very hard time finding housing that is within my budget. Most nights I spend my money on motels. On the days I cannot afford a room, a friend lets me sleep in her car, or someone else allows me to sleep on their couch.
I do not know what to do anymore. I look for work every day and have had numerous interviews, but my background check continues to be an issue. Employers are not willing to give me a second chance, even though I am a good worker and just need an opportunity.
I am not aware of any resources that could help me. If you can assist me with any services and give me a chance, please contact me by email or by phone. Thank you.
