You’ll never guess which state just took action to consider funding sober homeless housing: None other the nation’s liberal left coast. If that’s not surprising enough, it’s a Democrat who is sponsoring the bill. California Assembly member Matt Haney of San Francisco wants drug-free housing projects to be able to compete for state money. Right now, those receiving funds must adhere to a “Housing First” philosophy and not turn anyone away for not being sober.

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.
