A resolution request to allow Family Promise of Greater Denver to operate a non-congregate shelter at Regis University for families experiencing homelessness. The shelter will provide temporary housing, meals, and support services for up to 20 families (approximately 60 individuals), with a focus on keeping families together. The program is designed to be a temporary solution, with an average stay of 30-60 days per family. The site will utilize existing university facilities, including dormitories and dining halls. This initiative aims to address the growing need for family-oriented homelessness services in Denver, offering a safe and supportive environment while families work towards permanent housing solutions. The resolution was reviewed by the Land Use, Transportation & Infrastructure Committee and forwarded for approval by the full City Council. The project does not involve new construction, but rather the adaptive reuse of existing university space. The resolution outlines operational guidelines, safety protocols, and a commitment to minimizing impact on the surrounding neighborhood.
