An examination of fed- <br />erally assisted low and moderate income housing in the <br />Denver community clearly illustrates an imbalance in the <br />provision of social services. In Febl"u'Iry of 1971, there <br />were 8,241 federally assisted low and moderate income <br />housing units in Adams, Arapahoe, Denver and Jefferson <br />Counties. Although Denver comprised less than half of the <br />population for the four-county area, the core city pro- <br />vides 7,607 units or over 92 percent of the total low and <br />moderate income housing: <br /> <br /> No. Units <br /> Federally Assisted Low Percent <br />County & Moderate Income Housing of Total <br />Adams 124 1. 50% <br />Arapahoe 157 1.57 <br />Denver 7,607 92.31 <br />Jefferson 353 4.28 <br />TOT AL 8,241 100.00% <br /> <br />Needless to say, the domination of low cost housing <br />in Denver probably increases the welfare burden relative to <br />that of the adjacent suburban counties.
