The Denver City Council on Monday is poised to approve a $3.4 million contract extension with the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless to provide housing assistance and guidance to homeless people.

If approved, Denver will extend its contract with the coalition by one year, adding $3,377,000 for a new total of $6,754,000 to be expended in 2024.

The coalition’s agreement with the city calls for it to work with homeless people “to develop individualized goals in relation to housing such as housing stability and teaching housing skills,” the agreement says.

It would establish “housing needs, establish a housing stability plan, and work with the client to access and maintain appropriate housing,” according to the agreement.

Denver is coming off a year when Mayor Mike Johnston’s administration moved over 1,100 homeless people indoors. The mayor’s campaign to reach his ambitious goal included $45 million spent on housing acquisitions, dealing with encampments and service provider contracts.
