Show Notes
Denvers All In Mile High program, launched to end homelessness, has cut unsheltered homelessness by 45% since 2023. However, a new city audit criticizes the initiative for poor financial transparency, shaky planning, and equity problems. The audit estimates the city spent $178 million on the program, with officials pointing to a lack of central oversight and shifting success metrics as major red flags. The mayors office disputes the audit, insisting every dollar is accounted for. The report also highlights other issues like no formal needs assessment, unclear roles, and missing policies for tracking expenses and contracts. Despite the dispute, Denver continues its homelessness fight amid calls for clearer accountability.
