Denver appears to equitably provide services, conduct assessments and perform cleanups when responding to unauthorized encampments.
Using numbers provided by 10 city agencies, Denver Auditor Tim O’Brien and his staff found that from the beginning of 2019 through June 2022, the city spent an estimated $13.65 million responding to encampments, including $2.49 million to regularly clean up, or sweep, those settlements and move residents on to other places.
