Tackling homelessness will be one of the biggest challenges Denver mayor-elect Mike Johnston will face when he takes office next month
According to a recent Point-In-Time survey, more than 1,300 people sleep on the streets of Denver each night.
Jordan Fuja, a spokesperson for Johnston’s mayoral transition team, told Denver7 on Tuesday that the mayor-elect has started researching locations.This month, the Denver City Council approved an ordinance making safe outdoor spaces and safe parking areas permanent. “It helps establish that we can exist beyond the end of this year. But it still limits how long one of these programs can stay in the neighborhood,” said Montoya.
"This is not housing. Housing involves a roof and a door, and we are investing heavily in things that are temporary solutions…$10,000 tents on pallets in parking lots. This is not good enough,” said Sawyer. “We should be doing things differently. We should be taking those ARPA funds, and we should be investing them in long-term solutions.”
