The Grand Opening event for the Coalition's newest property, Renewal Village, was held yesterday. Renewal Village will provide 215 supportive and transitional housing units designated for individuals exiting the cycle of homelessness. Over the past 18 months, CCH converted the former Clarion Inn to permanent supportive and transitional housing with the help of key government, private, and nonprofit partners. The Coalition hopes to begin moving in residents by mid-September of 2024. The Grand Opening event for the property featured a spoken program as well as tours of the property’s nine stories of renovated space. Speakers included: Congresswoman Diana DeGette (District 1), City and County of Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, Colorado Coalition for the Homeless President and CEO Britta Fisher, Alison George, Colorado Department of Local Affairs, Director of Division of Housing, Dominique Jackson, Regional Administrator, Rocky Mountain Region, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development , Emma Pinter, County Commissioner of Adams County Government, and Darrell B. Watson, Councilmember, City of Denver. Learn more about Renewal Village here, https://lnkd.in/gz7NERvm

So exciting to see this closed down hotel get repurposed for such a great cause! Conversions like this that provide supportive and transitional housing for folks in Denver experiencing homelessness are a key to solving the crisis in our city. Thanks Colorado Coalition for the Homeless and Mike Johnston
