I run Senior Support Services, a day shelter for homeless seniors. I
recently slept on the streets of Denver for one month to protest the
Denver Regional Council of Government's (DRCOG) funding cut from
$75,000 to zero. This despite the fact that DRCOG only experienced a
13% funding cut, and despite the fact that Congress charged DRCOG to
serve those seniors with the greatest need.
Please find below images from our protest yesterday. Our 70 protesters sent a clear message to DRCOG that there is no group of seniors with greater needs than those served by Senior Support Services, that DRCOG should be funding homeless seniors first, not last.
