NEW: City crews Friday morning began the first homeless encampment sweep authorized by Denver Mayor Mike Johnston.
City crews Friday morning began the first homeless encampment sweep authorized by Denver Mayor Mike Johnston.
He said he knows sweeps without housing are not a solution to homelessness “because it means you’re chasing people off one block and then end up on another block.”in 2023 over 2022, according to a recently released point-in-time count. That despite the Hancock administration conducting sweeps on a regular basis.
The Stout Street camp spans the entire block with tents pitched on both sides of the street, even between large rocks and among fences apparently put in place to deter camping. The area is near many of the city’s homeless shelters and homeless service providers. Johnston announced his goal to offer 1,000 people living on the city’s streets access to shelter before the end of the year last month as his first news conference as mayor. He has declared homelessness an emergency in the city, a step meant to open up more state and possibly federal resources and cut through red tape that may slow down housing acquisition.
