Denver Mayor Mike Johnston’s administration released the location of 11 sites across the city Thursday morning, describing nine of the sites as likely locations for so-called micro-communities designed to house people experiencing homelessness.
All told, the 11 properties, owned by public agencies or private partners willing to work with the city, could provide enough space to house 1,000 people living on the streets. Johnston set a goal on his second day in office of offering housing to 1,000 unhoused residents of the city by the end of the year.
The preliminary list released Thursday does not mean the administration’s work is near-finished, Johnston emphasized. There is still permitting and site work required at many of the 11 preliminary options and the administration is continuing to negotiate with other property owners privately to secure more options.
“We think all of these are promising sites that could work and they provide us a path to 1,000,” Johnston said Thursday. “But we will also continuously work on sourcing more sites so that we have a pipeline for those.”
