>The overall number of homeless people in Denver increased over the past year, but far fewer people were sleeping outside when an annual census was conducted, according to the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative’s point-in-time count released Monday.
The snapshot report, which reflects how many people were homeless on a single night in January, shows that overall homelessness increased 12% over the 2024 count. But unsheltered homelessness — meaning people who are sleeping in tents or on the street — decreased 38%.
“We’re thrilled that unsheltered homelessness, which has been our North Star as an administration, is at its lowest point since January of 2019,” said Cole Chandler, the deputy director of Mayor Mike Johnston’s city homelessness initiative.
