Mayor Mike Coffman relates his homeless experience to Villager reporter Freda Miklin

A report by the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative (MDHI), issued in October 2020, said that 31,207 people accessed services for the homeless during the year ended June 30, 2020 in metro Denver (Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, and Jefferson Counties). It also said that there were 6,104 homeless in metro Denver at one point in time in January 2020, however, the report makes clear that counting the homeless is difficult and that “significant differences in counts do appear.” MDHI concludes that “the leading cause of homelessness, not just in this region but around the country, is a lack of affordable housing.” Mayor Coffman found otherwise. See his story on page 9.
