Housing in Colorado
Affordable rental housing is in short supply across Colorado and the Denver Metropolitan area. The following organizations may provide housing assistance. Please note that these organizations may or may not assist a person convicted of a sex offense or who is on the sex offender registry. We encourage you to contact them directly to determine eligibility.

Understanding Residency Restrictions in Colorado
Colorado has no statewide laws restricting where convicted sex offenders may live, with one exception: individuals currently under criminal justice supervision (parolees or probationers) may face restrictions imposed by their supervision terms.
However, many municipalities and counties have implemented their own residency limitations. These local ordinances typically prohibit offenders from residing within 1,000 feet of schools, parks, daycare facilities, churches, or libraries.
Compliance depends on which city or county you reside in — always check local municipal codes for specific restrictions in your area.
