Drugs, Alcohol Chaos and Death Rampant in Denver Homeless Housing
According to David Heitz, “the use and sale of illegal drugs is rampant in Denver homeless housing. It jeopardizes people who became sober while in jail or the state mental hospital.”
He also says that most homeless housing buildings have several drug dealers living in them with meth, heroin and crack readily available.
People in David’s building have died of drugs and alcohol and often cause violent disturbances.
Housing first = Housing fiasco.
Homeless Campus - East Denver
East of Denver, sits an empty campus with seven dormitories, 500 beds, a cafeteria, gym and a football field. Gov. Jared Polis has big plans for this space: a state-owned facility that could house hundred of people who are homeless and living on the streets.
Gov. Polis envisions an all-encompassing recovery center with temporary housing, drug treatment and job-training programs.
Let’s support Gov. Polis in this vision!
