The Denver City Council on Monday gave local nonprofit Haven of Hope the green light to turn an industrial building in the Lincoln Park neighborhood into a homeless shelter with eight to 12 beds for people in a recovery program.
The approval came despite 18 emailed comments opposed to the zoning change largely focused on concerns around the potential impact the facility might have on crime rates, public drug use, trash and property damage in a neighborhood that has recently grappled with challenges related to a massive homeless encampment.
City officials swept that encampment — located at the intersection of West Eighth Avenue and Navajo Street — last month in part because of three overdose deaths and multiple felony arrests that took place there.
City Council President Jamie Torres, who represents the city’s District 3 where that encampment and future shelter are located, said the concerns voiced in the opposition letter are largely a reflection of the city’s failures to adequately address the homelessness crisis.
The city also received 28 comments in support of the zoning change.
Ping-ponging property tax rates could reach long-term stability if a proposal introduced in the Colorado legislature on Monday beats the clock for when the body must finish its work this week.
But the proposal, while rallying support inside the State Capitol, did not appear likely to stop ballot initiatives backed by powerful, deep-pocketed interests on the outside that are looking for steeper cuts.
