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.

For Javier Torres and other workers whose jobs are conducted outdoors in south Florida, the heat is unavoidable. A new law recently signed by Ron DeSantis, Florida’s Republican governor, that prohibits any municipalities in the state from passing heat protections for workers ensures that it is likely to stay that way.
Torres has seen a co-worker die from heatstroke and another rushed to the emergency room in his years of working in construction in south Florida.
