LAKEWOOD , Colo. — There's been an increased focus on how to help those experiencing homelessness in Lakewood .'It's not getting better, and that has a lot to do with the affordable housing crisis,' said James Ginsburg, executive director of Recovery Works.Recovery Works opened up a navigation center last fall to connect unhoused community members to resources.

If adopted by the Lakewood City Council, some of the restrictions would be dropped. Current health, safety and fire code requirements would still need to be followed.'These are designed in a community with their own safety standards.

It's no less safe, it's just the traditional standards are really built around larger traditional structures,' said Parker.
