DENVER — Unhoused residents in Denver's Capitol Hill neighborhood said Friday they are now left scrambling after claiming the city has waitlisted them for any type of shelter ahead of Tuesday's cleanup of their encampment.
Montielh said she was put on a waiting list and wasn't offered the long-term hotel opportunity like others who live in nearby tents. "You know, some people have been on the run for 10, 20-plus years. And the idea of being in a hotel or even going to a hotel for them is, you know, out of the question," said West.
The letter went on to say the new hotel and micro-community opportunities will be staffed 24 hours a day and provide wraparound services and support.
