“It’s disgraceful, and they’re not trying to solve the problem,” said Grant Francis, an advocate with Mutual Aid Monday, which provides meals every Monday night to those experiencing homelessness. “They’re just trying to provide some optics that make it look like they’re trying to do something.”
“It doesn’t surprise me that Coors Field is one of the targets,” Francis said. “It’s anywhere where there’s an event that generates any kind of income for the city.” “The approach to the homeless situation currently, by the current administration, is an absolute failure,” said Amy Beck, a homeless activist who does direct street outreach. “I provide food, water and warmth to folks, which is what they need to stay alive.”“And last year, there was a protest the day of Opening Day,” Beck said.
“Moving people around is not solving anything. It’s not getting anyone more shelter,” Francis said. “It’s actually causing people to have less shelter because they’re getting their tents and heat thrown out.”
