The Denver Post: Denver lacks important security measures at its homeless shelters, does not keep track of its spending on the facilities and is unable to ensure city funds are used appropriately, according to a city audit of the program released Thursday.

The report represents an indictment of one of Mayor Mike Johnston’s core initiatives — the All In Mile High program — and calls into question the effectiveness of the Department of Housing Stability, the city agency tasked with sheltering Denver’s most vulnerable population.

Because Denver does such a poor job tracking its spending, City Auditor Timothy O’Brien said, he did his own math: Between January 2022 and March 2024, the city spent an estimated $149.6 million to operate the 25 shelters used to house individuals experiencing homelessness.
