DENVER — When mayor-elect Mike Johnston takes office, Denver will have more tools than ever to provide stopgap housing options to people living homeless on its streets.
Tiny home villages, safe outdoor spaces populated with heavy-duty tents and parking lots that can host people living in their vehicles overnight are all now permanent options in Denver’s land use code following a City Council action in early June.
These are the tools Johnston will need to deliver on his cornerstone campaign promise to eliminate homelessness in Denver in four years.
