For all the attention it gets, you’d think ending “homelessness” was the primary purpose of Denver government. The term is an all-inclusive generalization. It includes those who’ve had a sudden setback, are recently out of work, are down on their luck, temporarily having a tough time making ends meet, or even a college grad who’s out of work and has moved back in with her parents. Only a small fraction of the homeless are street people (the “unsheltered” in politically correct lingo) but they’re a major part of the problem. As a compassionate society we do what we can for them. Unfortunately, most reject treatment and rehabilitation. They say they just want their freedom.
