Activist for the homeless Regan Benson shared a new video to her YouTube channel on Thursday featuring her efforts to get a formerly homeless woman named Joey at the Sante Fe Drive micro community outside of Denver.
Benson informed her viewers that she was awarded two slots at the micro community by Denver mayor Mike Johnston last year and that one of her two slots was going to Joey, who was a long-time resident of the Denver area.
The Sante Fe Drive micro community was originally set for 150 units to provide permanent shelter to the homeless but was eventually reduced to 60 units after complaints from community members.
Mayor Johnston backed the micro community as part of his efforts to get members of the homeless community off the streets and into near permanent housing. Besides constructing the micro community sites, the mayor’s plans have also converted several former motels into housing units.
Benson had previously demonstrated at the site, criticizing the mayor’s plans for sheltering the homeless and perceived slowness in developing the Sante Fe Drive community.
