Denver, CO. Shelters Trashing Residents Property

August 27, 2020 by Jonathan Leave a Comment

These pictures show property of shelter residents at the 48th street shelter taken from residents who were not there for a night and trashed the next morning. The shelter has a practice of trashing the property of anyone who is not there for a night. They have storage bins for resident’s property but those bins will be emptied and trashed if you are not there for a night. Some residents are not there because they are at the hospital, or a job, or for any other reason.

Below see pictures documenting the process of shelter staff trashing residents property, as well as an incident report from one of many residents who had their property trashed after going to the hospital.

We are thrilled to announce that yesterday the fin We are thrilled to announce that yesterday the final two Aloft residents, Juilo and Alberto who we asked for the community’s support in advocating for, got a commitment from the State for housing vouchers and the City agreed to bridge them in a hotel like everyone else!! This means that NO Aloft resident was kicked to the shelters or streets due to the closure!! This is a huge testament to what is possible when everyone comes together toward a housing goal and puts their resources toward housing!

The Right 2 Rest Act did not meet the threshold to be voted out of committee this term, but this informational hearing will ensure legislators know this bill is necessary to protect our human rights to public space!
