Disparity of strategies cited as Denver wants urgency housing, coalition cites long-term housing.
DENVER — Denver's councilmembers on Monday rejected a $6.4 million three-year contract with the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless following a request by Mayor Mike Johnston to do so, saying his administration needs more time to develop a"strong and fair" agreement.The contract was meant for the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless to partner with the Department of Housing Stability until the end of 2026 by supporting efforts to provide housing to homeless people citywide.
“It was happening too quickly," she said."The original contract had 90 people being housed over a quarter and that was long term housing support service. They changed that to getting 500 indoors, into pallet shelters, hotels. That’s a different strategy.”9NEWS+ has multiple live daily shows including 9NEWS Mornings, Next with Kyle Clark and 9NEWS+ Daily, an original streaming program. 9NEWS+ is where you can watch live breaking news, weather updates, and press conferences.
