Income Qualification
As an affordable housing provider with grants from the City of Denver, The People’s Mansion is required to certify that its residents meet certain local, low-income requirements. Rent is based on the room and your income. There are 19 rooms in the building that need to fall under the following income caps:
% AMI | # of Rooms | Lower Income Limit (Annual) | Upper Income Limit (Annual) | Monthly Rent |
30% | 3 | $13,791 | $27,390 | $584 |
40% | 4 | $17,363 | $36,520 | $813 |
50% | 4 | $19,968 | $45,650 | $980 |

80% | 5 | $23,088 | $73,040 | $1,180 |
*These numbers are based on a one-person household. Married couples or people with dependents will have slightly different numbers.
**These caps are for 2024 and will increase slightly for 2025. The rents will stay the same in 2025.
Potential residents will need to provide 3rd party verification (such as pay stubs or letter from employer) of current local or remote income that fits within the required ranges for their desired room. Savings and student loans do not qualify. Read more about our income qualification process here.
