I’m sure people wonder why anyone would want to live in a street encampment. It’s filthy, noisy, drug-ridden, and dangerous. Right?. It’s not always that way. I lived in an encampment directly across the street from the Salvation Army Crossroads homeless shelter. I was banned from the shelter for 30 days for smoking my medical cannabis outside, which I did not know was forbidden. That didn’t seem possible based on alll the other people who did it and never got into trouble. When I got thrown out of Crossroads, I went outside and never went back inside. That is, until the police arrested me, and I ended up at Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo, and then later, Fusion Studios, where I live now.

Massive Theft Ring Uncovered: UPS Warehouses Targeted Nationwide

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston was clear Saturday when someone asked during a House1000 town hall meeting what will happen to those who say no to free housing. He said taking 1,000 people off the streets who accept an offer of free housing “allows us to focus much more rigorously on the enforcement of those who don’t (want the housing).” He said those in the grips of addiction will be offered “outpatient treatment and if not, we will get you inpatient treatment.” Johnston made his remarks during a town hall meeting at Evans School in Golden Triangle. The forum answered questions from neighbors of proposed micro community sites at 1199 N. Bannock and 1375 N. Elati.
