The very first village of our innovative S2 shelters came together rapidly, bringing secure, warm spaces for Denver’s unhoused residents and fulfilling Mayor Johnston’s initiative to house 1,000 people by the end of 2023.

“This is such a symbol of what we wanted to create. It wasn't just about getting people indoors, but it's about bringing people back to life and helping people thrive. And you see that in this space.”
– Cole Chandler, City of Denver Senior Advisor for Homelessness Resolution
