Two much anticipated safe outdoor parking spaces for people experiencing homelessness in Denver won’t be opening after all. A contract with Colorado Safe Parking Initiative will become final at Tuesday’s Mayor-City Council meeting. The new contract removes the requirement for the initiative to add two more lots serving a total of 16 vehicles. That leaves just two lots that the initiative already operates. The city will pay $350,000 for the initiative to operate the lots.

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

The Denver City Council learned more Wednesday about the workforce development component of the Denver Asylum Seekers Program. The city has transitioned the way it helps migrants, closing shelters and instead placing 800 people in the asylum program. That includes people who had been staying in non-congregate hotel shelters, all but one of which have closed. New migrant arrivals will not be eligible for the six-month work program until some graduate, according to a presentation by city staff. The city intends to keep 500 people in the work program at a time, according to Tony Anderson, workforce development manager for the city.

I can’t help but wonder how many vacant buildings in Denver play host to people experiencing homelessness. I expect it’s quite a few. There is a vacant building next to Martin Luther King, Jr. Park where I walk every day. Every time someone with a dog walks past it, the dog growls at the building.

Opinion: How many of Denver’s homeless squat in vacant buildings?
