Denver’s Mariposa District: Supporting Healthy, Mixed-Income Living
The Mariposa – South Lincoln Redevelopment in Denver, CO, is a 17-acre master plan for mixed-income redevelopment of the Denver Housing Authority’s South Lincoln Homes public housing site. The goal is to create a transit-oriented community where people experience a neighborhood that is environmentally sustainable, culturally diverse, close to downtown and offers a spectrum of housing options. While the city was completing the station area plan, DHA initiated a cultural audit based on surveys and interviews of members of the South Lincoln Park Homes community. The cultural audit revealed that residents had a fear of displacement, as well as a desire for new housing to include units affordable to those of different income levels.
