National Day of Civic Hacking

## State the ~~Problem~~ Opportunity

> National Day of Civic Hacking is a great way to connect with the local community. It is an opportunity to recruit new members, and reach out to potential partners.
## State the Problem

We are focusing on the issue of the Denver housing Crisis at NDoCH Denver this year.

> "Denver's population is growing much faster than our supply of housing, and this gap is growing every year. With demand growing so much faster than supply, prices have risen dramatically. ... **half** of all renter households, and a **third** of all households here, struggle with [affordable housing]"
> -- [Denver Office of Economic Development](https://www.denvergov.org/content/denvergov/en/denver-office-of-economic-development/housing-neighborhoods/about-affordable-housing.html)
## Why

> Code for Denver was already planning on hosting an event for National Day of Civic Hacking, and focusing it on the housing crisis allows us a great opportunity to focus on addressing this issue, and potentially setting us up for some future projects.
