Boulder shut down Homeless overflow shelters. People dying!

this addictions recovery center has 30 beds but it is empty! It could be used for overflow for addicts and alcoholics who sleep on street.
What happened to overflow shelter for the homeless. ? There is none. There used to be. I used to take people there.
Its gone! City of boulder closed overflow shelter
I worked really hard to make it happen so people would have a place to go. The shelter won’t let you in if you come after 7:00pm even if they have room and they had room last night . that’s bullshit. So the person freezes to death on our streets. C’mon council!

Boulder Cares in 1997 with a Ford bronco and some homeless guys who I mentored. We would go out each night, give out hot soup and blankets, plus transport. Sheriff Epp saw me doing it one night and asked what we were up to. so he decided to make it official, donated a jeep and crew and the /shelter took it over. I suppose that is dead now too? c’mon!
