Denver’s city council will consider extending Mayor Mike Johnston’s state of emergency on homelessness during Monday's meeting
The operations center will bring together people from different agencies and departments to coordinate the city’s response to the emergency.
"The City faces a humanitarian crisis that requires it to take extraordinary measures to meet the immediate needs of City residents living unsheltered," the resolution says. “We don't want the city just to be like, ‘Okay, the encampments are gone, problems solved,’” said Gloom. “Rich people [will be] happy because they can't see us anymore, but that's not dealing with the underlying problem in the first place.”The group said it does not consider SOS camps, tiny home villages, hotel shelters, and safe outdoor parking sites housing.
“We know that this will not this work will not be done, will not be completed, will not be over in the process of this emergency declaration,” the mayor said. “But it will be a chance for us to galvanize all the leaders in the city to take courageous action to start the work that we think can lead to dramatic outcomes.”Thousands more live in shelters and other temporary housing facilities.
