Denver Mayor
The City and County of Denver has agreed to make changes to how it oversees and tracks its response to unauthorized encampments following the results of a city audit. The audit report and its recommendations released today center on a need to refine and clarify policies, procedures and data-tracking related to Denver’s encampment response efforts to ensure the city remains compliant with legal requirements and treats people experiencing homelessness equitably. “Chronic unsheltered homelessness is the most complex issue any city will manage, and we appre- ciate the audit team, over the course of many months, taking a hard look at how our city is approaching the challenge of encampments,” said Mayor Michael B. Hancock.
