I work at a non-profit that facilitates urban mission trips for middle school, high school, and college age students. I worked for them in Denver a few years ago, and now for the same organization in Houston. This was really a great thing for me to see.

Something that really is great about Denver is how much assistance there is. The city is very forward-thinking about acknowledging the problem of homelessness and creating places that meet the immediate needs, like you pointed out.

It amazes me how different two urban settings can be. Houston has all sorts of ordinances to keep the homeless from being seen during the day. They are trying to keep the places that help out strictly downtown. Houston is SO big that that causes a problem for those who live far away from downtown.

Thanks for doing this project.

That was what I was trying to say. I think it's just interesting how different cities are less progressive than Denver. I think it would definitely be harder to find the same amount of help in a different city.
