DENVER — In the months since the launch of the Together We Will downtown safety initiative, hundreds of arrests, treatment referrals and outreach contacts have been made with individuals downtown, according to the Downtown Denver Partnership .
“It’s really important that we continue to hone in on this theme of a holistic approach, of a theme that is very much equal parts enforcement and compassionate response,” Kourtny Garrett, president of the DDP, said at a public meeting Thursday. “That is what the situation on our streets, that is what our community is calling for today.”
Since the launch of the Together We Will initiative, coordinators have made 790 contacts with people on the streets, and referred 176 individuals to treatment and support, according to the DDP. The next crucial part, though, is out of their hands and more elusive: only 24 of their connections agreed to accept direct support.
