Fur Ban Exceptions, Homeless Support Cuts, and a Cap Hill Mystery
Sep 24, 2024•29 min•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
It’s Tuesday, and we’re digging into the biggest stories of the week. First, two local organizations based on innovative strategies for helping our unhoused neighbors — the Denver Basic Income Project and the Denver VOICE — have run into serious funding trouble and could be on the verge of shutting down. Producers Olivia Jewell Love and Paul Karolyi talk about how they may or may not fit into Mayor Mike Johnston’s vision for ending unsheltered homelessness in Denver. Then, why does the proposed fur ban have so many exceptions? And finally, a listener question about an eyesore in Cap Hill.
Olivia mentioned this Westword article on the fur ban that Denverites will vote on this November.
