The city has identified 11 potential sites for micro-communities in order to house people experiencing homelessness, but some Denver residents continue to share their concerns about the plan.
DENVER — Denver Mayor Mike Johnston on Tuesday offered specifics for the first time about the cost of his plan to move 1,000 people off the streets by the end of the year.
Fagan said she and other people who live in the neighborhood at Santa Fe and Iliff in southwest Denver have already been through enough. She said homeless encampments were located on the very site where the city could build a potential micro-community. He said while there have been about 6,000 calls to 911 at unsanctioned encampments this year, there have only been a handful of emergency calls at the city’s existing tiny home community villages, including one at 40th and Monroe.
“These are the safest, most stable structures,” said Johnston. “We'll hear stories from people who fought the arrival of a Safe Outdoor Space or a tiny home village. Once it arrived and years later… those same neighbors fought it leaving because they actually found it to be a really great addition to the neighborhood.”
