I hate this news story. If I wasn’t living in this community (Douglas county) I would think it’s a good story. However, Douglas county has massive NIMBY policies, including outlawing everything that would allow someone experiencing homelessness anywhere near here. No homeless shelters are legal, no sleeping outside is legal, hell even weed stores are illegal in this massive county, despite it being legal in the majority of the state. Douglas county also created its own health department in protest of mask and vaccine mandates. It’s a very affluent deeply conservative pocket in Colorado that makes me sick.
Wow, talk about someone who didn’t really read the article.
It’s been stated that they made a department that specifically assesses homeless people and help get them to services that they need.
Looking at other sources, it looks like they’re shipping them to other counties. Now they’re homeless somewhere else. How heartwarming.
Correct. The article attempts to paint all of this in a good light, but in reality that team just “helps” them get to Denver. And the local government bemoans that Denver is full of homeless. It’s infuriating
