House1000 wasn’t about setting a goal that seemed achievable, but setting a goal based upon what our community needed. The goal pushed our team each day to accomplish not what we imagined could be done, but what we believed must be done.

Dear Denver, we can be both a great city, and a good city. We can have a thriving economy, a vibrant downtown, and affordable housing for the people that make us great. Let’s do this!

The blocking of a Senate bill to overhaul U.S. asylum law is leaving Denver and other big cities strained by a stream of migrant arrivals on.wsj.com/3SBjc7r on.wsj.com/3SBjc7r

We should be heartbroken and furious about our government’s failure to act on the migrant crisis.

Grateful to be in DC today sharing our lessons learned from Denver’s House1000 initiative—namely, that human centered public policy approaches like addressing encampments through housing access create transformative results for cities and the people that call those cities home.
We are proud to co-host the 2024 Housing Supply Innovation Symposium today with @TernerHousing. We welcome and thank all local and national leaders, experts, and investors who have joined us to discuss Human-Centered Approaches to Building and Accessing Housing.

Denver Post Editorial Board on our House1000 effort: ā€œThe transformation in downtown is palpable. The transformation in the lives of those individuals who are no longer sleeping in tents…gives us hope.ā€ denverpost.com/2024/01/16/de…

Really grateful that 1100 people who were living in encampments six months ago have safe, stable, and dignified indoor options today.

Congratulations to the mayor’s team, who’ve worked so hard to bring people indoors. And congratulations to the over 1000 Denverites who now have a place to call home. Everyone deserves safe and stable housing! We’re excited to see this program continue.
House 1,000 people living on Denver's street in under six months. Some people thought it was impossible, but I knew we had to confront homelessness in a big way if we wanted a big change. 1,034 people have come inside as Dec. 30. This is historic, and we’re just getting started.

House1000 wasn’t only about moving people inside and closing large encampments. It was also about reweaving the fabric of our community through love, joy, beauty, and authentic connection. So good to celebrate that today!

NEW: Denver is poised to meet ambitious goal of housing 1,000 people. @MikeJohnstonCO: ā€œWe know that we have 1,000 people in the city who are not out in the freezing cold…worried they are going to freeze to death or get robbed.ā€ MORE in @denverpost: denverpost.com/2023/12/28/mi…
