On The Frontlines of COVID-19 with Mayor Hancock of Denver, CO 

“ The biggest hurdle our city has had to overcome during the coronavirus crisis is how do we take care of our most vulnerable, our people experiencing homelessness in the City of Denver. We did this by repurposing city owned facilities to provide a place for them to rest and get proper nutrition and care during this crisis.”
