About 15 years ago, Michael Evan lost his job as a chef in Boulder, and, no longer able to afford his mobile home’s lot rent, left it with a knapsack full of essentials never to sleep in it again. Evan, now 52, was homeless on the city’s streets for 11 years, racking up dozens of criminal charges with Boulder police for municipal violations such as camping in public and open alcohol containers. But since November 2014, when he entered the once-controversial 1175 Lee Hill permanent supportive housing project owned by Boulder Housing Partners, with resident social services offered by the Boulder Shelter for the Homeless, Evan has had a home of his own. The housing project, which supports 31 residents who are chronically homeless has given Evan and others much-needed stability to end rough periods in their lives.
