Council OKs optional tour of permanent supportive housing sites
Summary
Council approved, by unanimous vote, an optional bus tour for council members to visit permanent supportive housing (PSH) sites, including Solid Ground and Sanderson Apartments, to inform policy on homelessness and supportive housing models.
Lakewood City Council voted 9-0 on Jan. 13 to authorize an optional tour of permanent supportive housing facilities in Lakewood and the Denver metro area.
Councilor Lowe moved for the council to approve an optional bus tour to visit local PSH projects, citing the value of seeing operational examples and hearing from managers. Councilors said site visits help them understand trauma-informed design and operations, and will inform council's work on homelessness and housing policy. The motion passed without objection; council will coordinate dates with staff and developers for site access.
Councilors noted the Sanderson Apartments (Denver) and the Solid Ground project (Jefferson Center for Mental Health) as potential stops and asked staff to facilitate briefings with facility managers. Participation is optional for councilors.
