New COVID-19 restrictions willweek prohibitwait indoor personal gatherings Coloradans face 10-12 fordining, unemployment pay Pandemic backlogs continue BY TAMARA CHUANG THE COLORADO SUN It’s now taking 10 to 12 weeks for Coloradans to get new unemployment claims processed by the state Department of Labor and Employ-

ment. There hasn’t been a sudden rise in new claims. Rather, said Philip Spesshardt, director of CDLE’s division of unemployment insurance, it’s the older pandemic claims that are “now being adjudicated.” An executive order at the start of COVID-19 required the agency to pay benefits first and review them later. As of Monday, there

were 19,982 issues under adjudication. That’s down from more than 800,000 issues at the peak. There are usually multiple issues per claim leading Spesshardt to estimate that between 5,000 to 10,000 people may be impacted. Issues could include investigating whether the individual was eligible, whether it was COVID-19 related or whether there was a protest by a former employer. The

Luxury homes going up in Fort Lupton BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM Developers behind a luxury housing development targeting Fort Lupton invited residents to come and select where they want their next home built. Eastman Properties will build the first Epcon community in Northern Colorado, called the Courtyards at Lupton Village, in Fort Lupton. The project calls for 27-lot units of luxury ranch homes with private courtyards on South Rollie Avenue. “After starting my real estate journey, I came to the realiza-

Pacific’s 160th anniversary and the historical role railroads serve in America. The Denver display day will include viewing of the Big Boy locomotive and access to the “Experience the Union Pacific” rail car, a multi-media walkthrough exhibition that provides a glimpse of the past while telling the story of modern-day railroading. Union Pacific planned a longer West Coast Steam Tour for Big Boy this summer, according to

tion that the 55-plus market has been tremendously underserved. I knew there had to be a way to capitalize on this market. And that’s when I found Epcon,” said David Krafsur, owner and managing member of Eastman Properties. “I thought to myself, ‘I want to do something that makes people happy, and what better way to do that than with beautiful homes with amenities that appeal specifically to your demographic.’” The company hosted a lot-selection meeting July 12, allowing prospective buyers to pick out which lots in the development they want to build on. a written statement from the company. That tour was canceled so Union Pacific could focus its efforts on improving network fluidity and service to customers amid ongoing supply chain challenges, the statement said. “Both the communities of Denver and Cheyenne have a rich history that goes almost as far back to the foundation of Union Pacific Railroad,” said Scott Moore, senior vice president – Corporate Relations and chief administrative officer. “We are disappointed we cannot have our longer Big Boy tour this year but rekindling our great history with Denver and the Cheyenne Frontier Days

Krafurs said to attract the 55-and-over market to Fort Lupton, he plans to develop a 27-unit community with open floor plans, high ceilings and large rooms for entertaining that would be near the heart of Fort Lupton, close to restaurants and a mall. The homes cost between $450,000 to $500,000 each with a homeowners association taking care of the shrubs and shoveling snow. He hopes to complete the project by the fall of 2023. For the next couple of months, Epcon will concentrate on reserving individual lots for buyers and beginning work.

“It will be in a quiet place with conveniences nearby,” said Kristel Acre, a Realtor with RE/MAX. “The people are friendly and welcoming, and, you will feel like a part of the community. EPCON is famous throughout the United States, it’s the symbiotic nature of this project.” Epcon, a company focused on developing lifestyle homes for high-end customers is headquartered in Dublin, Ohio. Builders Magazine in 2017 rated Epcon as one of America’s largest home builders with innovative designs and modern amenities.

Rodeo will give us an opportunity to share No. 4014 with the public in 2022.” The train will carry passengers the next day as it returns to Cheyenne. This excursion is the annual gala fundraiser for the Union Pacific Museum, a nonprofit organization, and is a rare opportunity for the public to travel on this historic heritage equipment. Passengers must be 18 years or older to attend. Twenty-five Big Boy locomotives were built for Union Pacific to haul heavy freight during World War II. It was delivered to Union Pacific in December 1941. Around the country, there are

seven Big Boys on public display in St. Louis, Missouri, Dallas, Texas, Omaha, Nebraska, Denver, Scranton, Pennsylvania, Green Bay, Wisconsin, and Cheyenne, Wyoming. No. 4014 is the world’s only functioning Big Boy. Big Boy No. 4014 traveled about a million miles in 20 years of its service and retired in December 1961 at the Rail Giants Museum in Pomona, California. Union Pacific inherited it and relocated it back to Cheyenne for years of major restoration. They brought it back to the tracks in May 2019 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Transcontinental Railroad’s completion -- May 10, 1869.

before,” Spesshardt said. “Where we’re at now is certainly not acceptable to us. We certainly want to be further along on processing unemployment insurance customers.” But the backlog has created delays for Coloradans filing for unemployment for the first time. This week, on the MyUI+ page, where unemployed people file for weekly benefits, a banner informs claimants that processing “is taking 10 to 12 weeks from the date of file due to high volumes.” Some say it’s taking even longer than that. One unemployed worker who spoke on condition of anonymity said she applied April 1 and nearly 16 weeks later, is still waiting for her claim to be processed. She had to take out a personal loan and get money from her 401(k) to survive. Before the pandemic, new claims took about four to six weeks to process. After the start of the pandemic, an executive order by Gov. Jared Polis forced the agency to put applicant reviews on hold and pay benefits within 10 days. Since April 1, there have been 32,273 new claims for unemployment benefits in Colorado, or an average of 2,300 per week, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. That’s higher than the pre-pandemic average of 1,500 to 1,800 per week. More claims continue to tax staff, which has also been difficult to retain. Spesshardt said the labor department is not unlike other employers who have dealt with labor shortages in the past year. A recent new training class for new hires attracted 10 people instead of 20, he said. The agency now has 89 available staff to process claims, compared to 71 before the pandemic. Another 20 are being trained. The labor department split up its staff to handle older pandemic claims and new ones and is working on ways to prioritize new claims so those folks aren’t waiting three months for their first unemployment check. The goal is to get new claims processed within three to four weeks. In certain circumstances where there

are no issues, a claim is processed and paid after the first week. “We have a team that’s dedicated to working the old backlog and the remaining three or four teams are processing current claims as they (come in) right now. Again, right now, that requires some manual work for supervisors,” Spesshardt said. “They’re supposed to roll out an enhancement within the system that will allow the system to automatically do that so we hope to see better efficiencies moving forward.” According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the number of new unemployment claims in Colorado was 2,289 for the week ending July 2, up about 215 from the prior week. That’s also about the same number as a year ago but higher than the average week in 2019, when weekly new claims were around 1,500 to 1,800. Continued claims were roughly the same as the prior week, at 16,566. Weekly continued claims have been declining all year. People who are waiting on their unemployment claim to be processed should continue to document their search for work and request a payment each week. After their claim is processed and approved, all eligible weeks will be paid. For those who have been waiting more than 12 weeks, Spesshardt advised that they check spam filters and missed calls, and also call the customer service line at 303-318-9000 and ask that their case be escalated.

Metro Denver’s homeless population the rise BY TATIANA FLOWERS THE COLORADO SUN The number of people experiencing homelessness was up 12.8% in 2022 compared to 2020, before the pandemic, according to preliminary data from the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative point-in-time survey. The annual count, which captures homelessness in the seven-county metro Denver region, showed there was an increase in homelessness of 784 people. In January 2020, the last time a comprehensive count was conducted, there were 6,104 people counted who were homeless in metro Denver. This year, 6,888 people were counted, according to the first phase of data. “We are awaiting HUD’s verification of the region’s demographic data before releasing further information, but for planning purposes, it is important to share the overall sheltered and unsheltered count for

the region,” Jamie Rife, executive director of the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative, said in a statement. MDHI will release a second phase of data once the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s verification process is completed later this summer, she said. On Jan. 24, teams spread out across the region to count people living in shelters and outdoors. Leaders in the metro area did not conduct a count of people living outside in 2021 because of COVID-19 concerns. The number of people living in shelters remained fairly consistent between 2020 and 2022, at 4,534 in 2020 and 4,815 in 2022, a 6% increase. The number of people considered “unsheltered” also increased regionally. This year 2,073 people were sleeping outdoors, up from 1,561 in 2020, a 32.8% increase. “The Point-in-Time is a

snapshot of homelessness on a single night with numerous variables such as weather, count participation, volunteer engagement and a variety of other factors,” Rife said. “While this count can help us understand homelessness on a single night, getting to a place where we have comprehensive, real-time data regionally is the ultimate goal.” The metro Denver region has made significant strides in decreasing its reliance on the one-night count, Rife said in a public statement. Instead, human service providers and municipal leaders are working to improve participation with the region’s Homeless Management Information System to make daily homelessness data more accessible. Outreach teams across the seven-county metro Denver area increasingly used the information system in 2022 to gain a more accurate real-time understanding of those liv-

ing outdoors. The system also helped outreach teams better connect clients to human services and housing, Rife said. While teams across the metro Denver area were able to locate and count 6,888 people on that single night this year in late January, the information system allowed them to estimate that the number of unhoused people is close to 31,000 throughout the course of the year, Rife said. “This data highlights the dynamic nature of homelessness and the importance of real-time data to allow the region to coordinate effectively and allocate resources efficiently,” she said.
