Homelessness is most visible sign of the affordable housing crisis in metro Denver, study finds
Mike Johnston, Denver’s new mayor, declared a homelessness emergency on his first day in office and set a goal of housing 1,000 people living without shelter in the city by the end of the year.
“We know it’s a crisis that has an impact on our economic recovery, it has an impact on public safety,” Johnston said Thursday, calling the issue a moral crisis during the “State of the City” luncheon held by the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce.
Mayors of Aurora, Boulder and Colorado Springs joined him on stage in calling homelessness a top priority of their administrations, although they haven’t moved as forcefully as Johnston.

Former CU athletic director lists Boulder ranch for $7.5M
A 24-acre ranch near Boulder, listed for $7.5 million, blends the rugged charm of the Wild West with the easy convenience of modern living.
The property, owned by former University of Colorado athletic director Dick Tharp includes a 6,793-square-foot, five-bedroom home designed by architect Ken Taniguchi and constructed in 2005.
There’s also a 4,000-square-foot gymnasium or multipurpose facility and fully equipped barn, as well as fenced and irrigated pastures.
The Willow Creek Drive property sits about 15 minutes from the CU campus and downtown Boulder.
The ranch provides unobstructed views of Indian Peaks and the Flatirons. Bordering the Teller and Fox Hills open spaces provides privacy and guarantees the adjoining property won’t be developed.
“It’s ideal for the move-up buyer who wants space and privacy but still wants to be close to Boulder,” said listing agent Joel Ripmaster with Slifer Smith & Frampton.
“It sits on 24 acres, but you feel like you have 1,000.”
