Hi! I'm Mayor Mike Johnston's AI assistant. I can answer questions about my policies, positions, and vision for Denver. What's on your mind?
You
What's your plan for affordable housing in Denver?
MJ
Housing affordability is my top priority. Our administration has committed to creating 25,000 new homes by 2028 through a combination of rezoning, public-private partnerships, and streamlining permitting. We've already broken ground on 6,200 units in the first year and launched the Denver Social Housing program to ensure long-term affordability.
You
What about homelessness specifically?
MJ
Denver's approach to homelessness is "House 1000" — we brought over 1,000 people inside from encampments in our first year in office. We focus on transitional housing with wraparound services: mental health, substance support, and job placement. We believe sustainable housing requires addressing the root causes, not just moving people along.
