A Denver shelter for women and LGBTQ people experiencing homelessness will close next month, and many of its residents are worried they could end up unhoused once again
DENVER — Individuals living at the Rodeway Inn off Federal and 47th Avenue delivered a petition to Denver’s Department of Housing Stability, demanding housing or bridge housing options before the shelter closes.
“For me, [Rodeway] was safety—the first place I could call home,” added fellow resident Laura Lindquist. “I spent seven or eight years on the street. I lost everything. They helped me get my ID, my birth certificate, my social security card. It’s the first place that nothing’s gotten stolen.” “We recognize that this transition is a difficult one, and we’re working with our partners to find the best possible outcomes for all of our guests,” said communications director Derek Woodbury.
