Setup is underway for a homeless encampment in an empty lot at First Baptist Church on the corner of 14th and Grant Streets in downtown Denver on Thursday, Dec. 3, 2020. Denver’s Department of Community Planning and Development issued a temporary use permit to Earthlinks to house approximately 30 people at the site. A sanctioned camp site was also established in Park Hill and a handful of residents have filed a lawsuit trying to force the campsite to close.
