Denver Mayor Mike Johnston’s administration on Monday touted a “milestone” in his campaign against homelessness — the city has moved 2,000 homeless people to temporary shelters since he took office last year.
Johnston made it a priority to move 1,000 homeless people off of the city’s streets and into hotel-turned shelters and “micro-communities” by the end of 2024. He vowed to bring another 1,000 people into shelters by the end of 2025.
The mayor’s office said that latest goal has also now been achieved.
