DENVER (KDVR) — The city of Denver’s Mayor’s “All in Mile High” homelessness initiative to house 2000 people by the end of 2024 is on track.
One year into office, Mayor Johnston rolled out a new citywide goal specific to homelessness. Reach a total of 2,000 people moved indoors from unsheltered homelessness by Dec. 31, 2024. The city calls it All in Mile High and initiative leaders say they’re on track to hit that 2000 housed goal.

The city said they’re just 50 people shy of that goal, with 1950 being brought off the streets. With these housing numbers, they’re pausing efforts of adding any new tiny homes or motels as they’ve done in the past year, with 1200 current units.
“We are pleased to have delivered the largest single-year reduction in unsheltered homelessness in Denver’s history,” said Cole Chandler, All in Mile High’s Deputy Director.
But advocates like Amy Beck, with Together Denver claimed those numbers are off and there isn’t enough cohesion with the city.
