Correction to Unsheltered Point in Time Count.

Unsheltered count of 2025 is mis-categorized 566 people who were staying in the emergency cold weather shelter as sheltered when they would otherwise be unsheltered.

This almost doubles the unsheltered count and shows increase.

On Saturday we marched 16th St to make our voices heard - “Housing not Handcuffs! People Over Profit!” As the Mayor and the Downtown Denver Business Partnership celebrated spending $175 Million on Looks and State Crooks, we called out the injustice.

[Housekeys Action Network Denver @HousekeysAction]

On October 4th there will be a grand re-opening event, called “The Denver Way”, for 16th Street after spending $175million for a revamp.

Join us for “The Denver Pay: $175 Million for Looks & State Crooks Protest.”

The beloved SAFER program is still planned for closure Aug 1st.

Many residents still have no place lined up to go upon the closure...

More time is needed to stop Mental Health Colorado from closing SAFER!

Thanks to one SAFER resident for doing this survey with all residents!

[Housekeys Action Network Denver @HousekeysAction]

Yesterday SAFER Residents and community protested outside of Mental Health Colorado’s office.

It's Mental Health CO's moral and legal responsibility to seek out new organization to continue operating SAFER. The residents, staff, building, and record of success are all there!
