The Denver Parks department wants to order $10 million worth of prefabricated toilets with drinking fountains. It’s good news for people experiencing homelessness who struggle to find toilets in the city. A survey conducted in September for Housekeys Action Network Denver by Regis University and the University of Denver describes how 82% of people did not have access to a restroom within two blocks of their encampment. More than two-thirds did not have access to drinking water within two blocks. The researchers interviewed 193 people experiencing homelessness in Denver and held five focus groups from 2020 to 2023. The group mapped 271 fountains and public toilets in Denver.
