Gossett Jr. was born in 1936 in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York. After obtaining a sports injury at age 17, he was encouraged to participate in a school play. Not long afterwards, he was encouraged to try out for a Broadway play. The rest, as they say, was history.

In a departure from the standard line given by most Denver city officials, City Council member Kevin Flynn questioned Wednesday whether Housing First truly is successful. “The jury’s still out in my view on Housing First and its success because I’ve seen it fall on its face,” Flynn told Midori Higa of the city’s Department of Housing Stability during the Safety, Housing, Education and Homelessness Committee. Higa had told Flynn that the city is using a “Housing First” approach when he asked whether those in the street-to-lease program were being vetted as potential successful candidates. The street-to-lease program eliminates the step of going to shelter before being placed in permanent housing. The first and last month’s rent generally is paid as well as a third month. Many people experiencing homelessness find themselves unhoused again when the free rent runs out and they still are without an income.
