Denver just doubled its goal for how many homeless people it will permanently house in 2025
The City of Denver will strive to put 2,000 people in permanent housing this year as it moves more people out of temporary shelters — a figure that’s double city leaders’ original goal for 2025.
The decision to boost the target came after internal conversations within the city government over the last month, said Cole Chandler, the deputy director of Mayor Mike Johnston’s city’s homeless initiative.
“The reality is, we’ve always set big, audacious goals — not necessarily about what we think we can do, but what our community needs,” Chandler said in an interview. “We’re going to give that our best effort in 2025.”
The plan is part of Johnston’s signature homeless initiative, called All in Mile High, which began when he declared a state of emergency on his second day in office in July 2023. That year, the city moved 1,000 people off the streets and into temporary housing, including tiny homes and hotel rooms.
Last year, the total moved inside reached more than 2,000 people. As of December, more than a third of those people had then moved into more permanent housing.
This year, the city plans to bring 2,000 people off the street and into city-operated temporary housing and another 2,000 into more permanent housing, Chandler said in a presentation to the Denver City Council’s Safety, Housing, Education & Homelessness Committee Wednesday. Some of that second group could come from the temporary shelters.
Some on council were skeptical about the new goal.
“I would just love to understand how you’re going to accomplish this,” said Councilmember Stacie Gilmore. “I would just question if it can really happen.”
Councilman Kevin Flynn questioned if the city’s stated overall goal of “ending street homelessness” was even possible.
“It’s cyclical,” he said. “Every day, unfortunately, someone may end up on the streets.”
Chandler responded by saying he does believe it’s possible.
“What it means to do that is to design a system that can respond to the needs of individuals — that we are able to get more people off the streets than are falling back into homelessness on a given day,” he said.
In 2024, the initiative was estimated to have cost the city more than $150 million.

DENVER (KDVR) — The last few days of May will be warm and mostly dry, but the Denver weather forecast does show a steady warming trend through the first week of June.
Highs on Saturday will be seasonal and mostly dry with a stray storm possible. Colorado will return to the low 80s on Sunday and will likely be dry across most of the state.
Denver weather tonight: Partly cloudy and mild
Skies will be partly cloudy overnight Friday. Any lingering showers will dissipate by midnight. Temperatures will remain slightly above normal with lows around Denver in the lower to middle 50s. Winds will be light from the south and southwest.
Denver weather Saturday: Seasonal and mostly sunny
Denver will see seasonally warm highs Saturday afternoon in the upper 70s, though the urban core may crack the lower 80s. An isolated storm or two may fire up in the afternoon north of Interstate 76 and the high country, but most of Colorado will remain dry.
Looking ahead: Warming to start June
Monday is the first day of June. Temperatures will be in the low 80s with a better chance for afternoon showers and storms. Winds will also be a bit breezy. The metro area will continue to warm Tuesday and Wednesday into the mid-80s. Both days have a chance for storms, but Tuesday will have a better setup for storms.
Denver will be drier the second half of the workweek as temperatures climb into the mid-80s. Next weekend may see highs back in the upper 80s. That’s not record-breaking, but quite warm for early June by about 10 degrees.
Von Miller has made it abundantly clear that he would like to return to the Denver Broncos and finish his career where it started. Miller has made that fact known at every possible opportunity, including a Von’s Vision charity event on Wednesday.
“I would love to bring back those Super Bowl 50 vibes, love to assist, to be the vice president to Bo Nix, to Courtland Sutton,” Miller said. “I’ve been the guy and also I’ve been the vice president as well. I would love to contribute to us getting back to the glory land, to holding up that trophy.”
Miller went on to note that he has lobbied coach Sean Payton to sign him (Payton coached Miller at a flag football tournament earlier this year).
Unfortunately for Miller, it sounds like there are no plans for a potential reunion with his old club. The Denver Post‘s Luca Evans reported that “as of last week,” there have been no talks between the Broncos and Miller’s representatives about a potential contract.
With a crowded outside linebacker room, Denver seems unlikely to re-sign Miller, but the 37-year-old pass rusher said he will “for sure” play in 2026. After totaling nine sacks with the Washington Commanders last fall, Miller will probably be able to find a home as a rotational pass rusher, but it might not be with the Broncos.
