  • Denver’s Urban Peak is nearly ready to open larger youth homeless shelter, despite $2 million setback
    Denver Post, Tuesday - 05/28/2024 - 08:00 AM

    The mission of a new 60,000-square-foot, 136-bed shelter for homeless youth in south Denver is evident in its layout, which on two floors features dormitory-style transitional housing divided into six “neighborhoods.” Young people with shared experiences and needs will live together in clusters at Urban Peak’s shelter on South Acoma Street  — including residents who have left foster care, who are in recovery for addictions, or who are either pregnant or already parenting children of their own. Christina Carlson, the organization’s CEO, and city housing officials say the building sets a new standard for spaces built to serve homeless youth, with a design aimed at meeting the needs of people dealing with trauma. “Youth are different — and they need something different,” Carlson said of the shelter, dubbed the Mothership, which is set to begin opening in July. The building is the result of eight years of planning and financial scrounging.

    Fox News medical commentator Dr. Marc Siegel pushed back against a right-wing conspiracy theory claiming NFL player Billy Price got a blood clot because he was vaccinated for COVID-19. During a Monday Fox News segment on Price's blood clot, Siegel addressed the theory.
