NORTHGLENN, Colo. — Neighbors sent a strong message Wednesday night packing the Northglenn Recreation Center to stop a state-run mental health transitional living home from opening in a former assisted living home near E. 112th Place and Grant Drive.
One by one, those who live close to the facility, teachers, council members and sexual abuse survivors reiterated they felt blindsided by the state's decision to put this transitional housing in their community. A letter from the City of Northglenn was sent out in mid-March, explaining the project and what types of patients are being considered, including sex offenders.
Northglenn's Mayor Meredith Leighty said the goal now is to get the site moved or ensure no sex offenders are moving in.
