Denver’s new homelessness dashboard includes more people but less detail

Denverite: For nearly two years of Mayor Mike Johnston’s first term, a homelessness dashboard painted a complicated picture of how his goal to end unsheltered homelessness was going. Now it’s been replaced.  

The new dashboard offers a broader scope but has less specific information, eliminating details about how long people were staying in shelters, and how many of them died or returned to homelessness afterward. 

Critics used the data to hold the administration to account.  But city officials say the old dashboard was confusing and hard to maintain.
