Colorado Coalition for the Homeless
"We've all heard horror stories of people being discharged in hospital garb to bus stops, to park benches, to shelters and day centers that were not equipped to serve them, without the resources they needed to follow up on their care. Too many people were re-hospitalized or worse," John Parvensky, the longtime CEO and president of the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, said at the October 6 dedication of the new center.
But while the ceremony focused primarily on the recuperative care center, many of those who spoke praised Parvensky for his work for the organization since the mid-1980s; he's retiring as soon as the Coalition finds a replacement. Parvensky shared what then-Governor John Hickenlooper said about him in a 2016 speech:"I've known Parvensky for about twenty years, and I've always thought he was a pain in the ass. I think he's still a pain in the ass. But he knows how to get things done." followed that up in his own remarks:"You learn in the job that some pains in the ass are worth tolerating.
