The Denver City Council approved a $3,075,625 contract with the nonprofit Urban Alchemy to provide community ambassador services across the city from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2028. This initiative, managed by the Department of Housing Stability (HOST), aims to address issues related to homelessness by deploying trained ambassadors to engage with and support unhoused individuals. The services will include hospitality and safety support, public right-of-way cleaning, graffiti removal, and connecting people with housing and other resources. The program's goal is to enhance public safety and cleanliness while providing a compassionate and effective response to the needs of the homeless population. Urban Alchemy's teams will be proactive and responsive, working to transform public spaces and help individuals on a path to housing stability.
