The city conducted a homeless sweep in Denver's Five Points neighborhood that put dozens into housing, while simply sending others down the street.
Last Wednesday, Elias Abebe — who has been homeless since February — was sitting on a knee-high wall that surrounds the parking lot of the U.S. Post Office at 951 20th Street, at an encampment near the intersection with Curtis Street, wondering when the city was going to give him the boot.
"Relocation facility and exact date will remain confidential for the time being," a statement read from the city's Homelessness Resolution Operation Center on October 24. , which announced it shut down due to loss of revenue and safety concerns related to nearby encampments. Bar Bar is just up Broadway Avenue from Triangle Bar's former location.
"They've only cleaned up the parts of Curtis Street with fewer people," he blasts."There are still hundreds of tents."
