Denver is collaborating with Harvard University to study the Temporary Rental and Utility Assistance Program (TRUA). The city's 2027 budget is currently subject to friction between the mayor's office and the City Council regarding TRUA funding.

The funding dispute is occurring as 2027 will be the first year the city will not receive federal American Rescue Plan Act dollars to support the program. The mayor's office stated that the city is working with Harvard University, and their team may request additional funding once the program analysis is complete.
