"During his 2023 campaign, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston told voters he could end
unsheltered homelessness in his first term. It was a big promise for a big
problem that few mayors feel they can control.
Johnston wasn’t banking on political will alone. After serving two terms in the
Colorado state Senate, he had led a foundation that worked on housing and
homelessness issues. He met experts on the topic, visited sites, and felt that
he knew what worked and what didn’t.
“I got a real sense that this problem could be solvable with the right amount
of resources and the right team,” Johnston says.
Since taking office in July 2023, Johnston has worked to prove this point. The
city can’t say there’s a place for every person who is unhoused, but it’s
almost halfway there."
