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.

Opinion: The smell of death in Denver

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.

It’s a fair question: Have people experiencing homelessness moved to Denver for a free hotel room?. At least one man did. The mother of a missing man messaged me the other day to tell me she is looking for her son. She said he moved back to Denver from Florida thinking he could get a free hotel room as part of Denver Mayor Mike Johnston’s House1000 plan. Of course, those rooms all are full now. Also, most people who received the rooms were in established encampments that the mayor swept. There never were any rooms for people who might move to Denver one week to be housed the next.
