The money is lining their pockets and not fully being used for what it's intended for, building housing....😑

The average person can't afford rent, how the hell will homeless people with major obstacles like criminal record, brain damage, no skills, education, drug addiction be able to have the responsibility of a apartment??

The problem isn't going to get better when the city uses the extra budget to hire additional useless officials and counselors instead of actually putting people into homes. The meals at the shelters come with bed bugs. They are very dangerous places. To be honest, that new head official should be voted out of her office unless she's willing to spend a month of her life in the shelter. Because otherwise she isn't in a position to make change because it doesn't benefit those outside if who's she's employing.

I'm still homeless lost my job to covid an no I don't do drugs or drink life is rough alone no family an yes I'm from Colorado and it's sad to see how things ended up here Colorado is not so good anymore 😭

It's not just Denver

The problem is, when you look for housing, 90% of the homes you look for, are unaffordable and expensive, do to luxury apartments and homes getting built at an astonishing rate. Affordable housing is getting reduced everyday. Until we fix that, it will continue.

Two words, rent control.

Working homeless should NEVER be a thing. However in the United States it’s at epidemic levels. Why folks (immigrants) from other countries still think of the USA as “The Land Of Opportunity” is completely beyond me. You can have a job and education (also being sober) but can still be annihilated by the crazy cost of EVERYTHING. We won’t even get into the struggles of unmarried people or single mothers, that demographic is exploding in numbers of homelessness now.

If only we spent billions here instead of overseas. Oh well, best of luck everyone.

There's so many homeless people in Denver for the last few years that just don't meet the criteria for homeless assistance

I think they should spend the money on building affordable housing and to re purpose existing infrastructure to be used as housing. Once housed then we can work on job retraining and drug abuse prevention and counseling. Homelessness can be ended but I also believe a lot of the money is being misappropriated.

That money is going into Politician's pockets. And what the hell is wrong with you people that you can't smile or say "hi" to a human being?

Our seniors should not be homeless and dying outside.

tens of millions and it's getting worse??? that only means the money isn't getting to the intended targets because I've seen miracles made from shoestring budgets for shelters etc Somebody, or somebodies, are lining their pockets and using stories like this to pad them even more. wake up

Address the real estate price gouging!!!!! Stop giving permits/taking bribes from contractors building luxury apartments and homes and give them to the the affordable/starter home builders.

Spending money at it doesn't solve it, that's the California fail model

Help the homeless to sue the city and private owners for whatever happens to them out there. Then it's a liability issue. Then you can move them.

As LONG AS RENT PRICES RISE ITS GOING TO CONTINUE TO PRICE FAMILYS OUT. GROW A BRAIN, BUY A BRAIN. GET IT ?!,

Rent gouging .
