The Denverite reported that the Coalition’s “We Will Remember” annual report was cited in the Journal of the American Medical Association .“We know that people experiencing homelessness have a life expectancy that's 20 years less than housed individuals,” said Cathy Alderman, chief communications and public policy officer for the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless.
From 2021 to 2022, the average age at death for a someone experiencing homelessness in Denver jumped from 47.5 years old to over 50 years old. For people of all ages living on Denver’s streets, Alderman said encampment sweeps intensify the issue.
