By Alexander Edwards | Denver Gazette

The Denver City Council has requested a delay in voting for funding for a shelter run by the Salvation Army.

The Tamarac Family Shelter, located at 7525 E. Hampden Ave. in a repurposed Embassy Suites hotel building, was set to receive an $8 million contract with the city.
