Issue Position: Poverty and Homelessness

Issue Position

We need to raise the bar and commit to ending homelessness in Denver. In a diverse district like ours, it's imperative that we have elected officials determined to give voice to those so often unheard amidst the din of big money interests.
Homelessness is result of a combination of factors, including insufficient affordable housing, too few jobs offering a living wage, and ongoing issues of accessible, affordable health insurance and child care. Few things matter more to me than protecting the rights of our most vulnerable citizens.
I am committed to promote the sustainability and livelihood of all Denver neighborhoods - particularly "at risk" neighborhoods such as Elyria and Swansea. Too often, these communities are not given a voice in their own determination, and I will ensure that their concerns are heard.
