Delivering Denver's Historic Reduction in Unsheltered Homelessness

Join the Institute of Politics, the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies, the Initiative on Health and Homelessness at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and the HKS Government Performance Lab for a timely discussion on innovative approaches to ending homelessness with Denver Mayor Mike Johnston.


Since taking office, Mayor Johnston has led ambitious efforts to move thousands of people experiencing homelessness into housing through his House1000 and All In Mile High initiatives—programs that have become national models for collaboration and measurable results. He will reflect on Denver’s progress, lessons learned, and the challenges ahead in pursuing sustainable housing and health solutions.


The conversation will be moderated by Chris Herbert, Managing Director of the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies, and will include brief comments by Maya Yassine, a Master of Public Health student at Harvard, who will draw on her personal and professional experiences to reflect on the mayor’s remarks.
