The city passed a camping ban in 2022.
While no count was conducted in 2021 because of COVID-19, Aurora reported an unsheltered homeless population of only 61 people in 2020, and only thirty in 2019.
"There are definitely areas that people tend toward more than others," Posser says."Just like anyone else that has a neighborhood that they're familiar with — they know the people and businesses and services — they tend to stay in places that they know or where they feel safer or where there's something else that's keeping them."
Since then, the City of Aurora has cleared up or abated 399 homeless encampments, according to an update on the camping ordinance presented last month to the council by Emma Knight, manager of the city's homeless programs. "Addressing campsites near I-225 and Parker Road is challenging due to the multiple jurisdictions in the area," Brannen tells."Depending on where a tent is located, either CDOT, Denver, Aurora, Arapahoe County, Cherry Creek State Park or the Army Corps of Engineers is responsible for monitoring it."
Altogether, abatement takes three to ten days. But Aurora takes extra steps to avoid just kicking people to a different curb."Our job with our outreach team is to encourage people to take services, come into shelter," Prosser explains.
