While there’s a lot being discussed when it comes to how to address homelessness in Denver, there’s still uncertainty about where this new administration is heading.
DENVER — An emergency declaration on homelessness, several community meetings about homelessness and then, word of an end to the homeless sweeps. That was all in new Denver Mayor Mike Johnston’s first week in office.
“We have not seen an effective solution to end illegal camping on the streets of Denver,” said Craig Arfsten with Citizens for a Safe and Clean Denver, who was at the event on Friday. “We don’t support the sweeps,” said Amy Beck, a homeless rights activist. “But if they continue, we want to work with the city and new administration because we got no collaboration with the prior administration.
“The traumatic displacement of human beings from encampments to go nowhere has been what we call the decade of doom in Denver,” said Loma.
