The nonprofit, nonpartisan Citizens for a Safe and Clean Denver held an outreach forum to discuss strategies for the unhoused.
A relatively new political group in Denver is asking voters to consider different ways to address homelessness from the ones some lawmakers and mayoral candidates are talking about., a nonprofit and nonpartisan coalition of business and property owners, held a private forum with residents of The Barclay Towers at 17th and Larimer streets on February 22 as part of their ongoing outreach to change the conversation around strategies for helping the unhoused.
“It’s not compassionate to let someone sleep outside in a tent when it’s negative-three degrees outside because they have a substance abuse issue or problem with their mental health,” Craig Arfsten, one of the group’s founders, said during the meeting. Members of Safe and Clean Denver said the group started organizing about 18 months ago after having multiple run-ins with people experiencing homelessness in Denver.
