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.

Aurora, CO

The Aurora City Council forged ahead Monday on a new “tough love” approach to homelessness that sentences urban campers to addiction and mental health treatment. The council decided at its study session to advance to a regular meeting an ordinance creating a new court for homeless campers. Ordinance sponsor Steve Sundberg said the court is not meant to be punitive. Offenders who successfully complete a year’s probation and their treatment plan would have the violation removed from their record, he said.

I recently had someone ask me if it’s true that residents of Fusion Studios, where I live, rent out their rooms for cash. I asked around the building about this, giving informants the safety of confidentiality. Only one said they had heard of someone renting out their room for the night, but several people said rooms get rented out by the hour.

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.

Denver continues to invest in millions in rental and mortgage assistance programs and other ways to prevent people from losing their homes. The Safety, Housing, Education and Homelessness Committee of the City Council approved Wednesday almost $12 million in new spending for rental assistance programs. Receiving contracts were Brothers Redevelopment, Inc. for $4.4 million and The Community Firm, doing business as Community Economic Defense Project, for $6.6 million to be used for rental assistance. The money comes from the Temporary Rental Assistance and Utility program, or TRUA, according to city staff. The Community Firm also received a $758,000 contract to operate a hotline that will handle as many as 36,000 calls per year to connect residents to rental and utility assistance.
