Denver freshens its House1000 dashboard, increasing transparency in how it counts sheltering people experiencing homelessness

Denverite: The City of Denver has updated its dashboard tracking progress on House1000, Mayor Mike Johnston’s effort to shelter 1,000 people by Dec. 31, with more sober language about sheltering outcomes, greater transparency about how people came indoors and clearer information about how people exited shelters.

The new dashboard shows “people moved indoors” rather than people who received “housing outcomes,” a misnomer since people moving from the streets into shelter are still homeless by both city and federal standards.

It also documents the number of people who have moved into housing, including 37 who were reunited with friends and family, 129 who moved into leased units and 5 who moved into other permanent housing.
