    Thanks for your continued advocacy for those with disabilities. I have an invisible disability and require a service dog. Thanks to an informational meeting your group held for my apartments’ management, the process of getting my reasonable accommodation was easy.

    Thank you for sharing information. It’s a shame we’re still talking about discrimination in this day and age. Your organization has done a great job in putting genuine, true, and factual information out to the public! You all have also done great in supporting families and communities…keep raising awareness!

    Thank you so much for your response and help by sending the US Department of Housing and Urban Developments - US Division of Justice guide on Reasonable Modifications/clarifying Accommodations to me. I believe that this documentation makes it very clear as to the clarity of the law and direction that would guide a Board such as our HOA Board and the property manager in making a positive decision.

    I have struggled for a few years with illness and housing and contacted your office regarding an issue with my emotional support animal. The residence that I was being offered the past summer would not accept my cat, even after receiving an ESA letter from my doctor. Needing housing so badly, I did decide to re-home her.

    Calling your office in the response of Intake Specialist response, and to my great relief, assured me that he would advocate on my behalf. Because of the outstanding advocacy is the only reason that she is still with me right now, for which I am grateful beyond words and will always be grateful for Denver Metro Fair Housing for the support of the Intake Specialist. This has made an immeasurable difference in my life for the better.

    Regina helped my client, and me navigate a very frustrating rental application denial case in which my client (a senior, homeless Veteran) was denied a lease because of a small, erroneous past-due amount that popped up on the client's rental history report. Regina walked me through recommended follow-up steps, and what possible rights were being infringed and even helped me craft a letter to try to expedite the removal of this erroneous history from the property management company's rental approval process. It WORKED! I received word from VOA today that the client got approved to be a tenant at the property that previously denied him.

    Regina went above and beyond my expectations. She created a miracle for Mr. L and me. I have had such problems with trying to find Mr. L housing. Mr. L has a traumatic brain injury. I am his caregiver. I feel that so many properties have been discriminating against us, and it’s been so hard to find Mr. L housing. The leasing agents would deny Mr. L housing based on his income and other unrelated issues. When we met Regina, she was God-sent! She was an angel. She helped to resolve our issues and get Mr. L his housing with the proper accommmodations. We need more people like Ms Regina. Our story was a miracle.

  • Testimonial

    There are moments in life journeys we need an immediate response to a housing issue that appears insurmountable to us; that experience was faced by me, was the rock of Sisyphus just there in my way. Left or right detour was not an option; however, with the help of Miss Blackwell, my wonderful friend, who let Regina know of my dilemma. Regina stopped my rolling bolder from crushing me and thus paved the road to be on my way! Thank you!
