City clearing homeless camps on river People receive notifications that they must leave area BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The closest thing an Englewood man, who declined to give his name because he doesn’t want it in the media, has had to a home since he was 13 is prison. When he got out of prison in 2013, he moved from place to place around the Denver metro area until he settled down to camp along the South Platte River at West Dartmouth Avenue and South Platte River Drive. “All it takes is one missed paycheck, or one time not being able to pay rent, and then you’re out here, and it all falls apart,” said the man. The man is one of the homeless people along the South Platte River who were scheduled to start moving from the area on June 4. Englewood police notified people on May 21 via signs and fliers on at homeless encampments along the banks of the Platte that they had until June 4 to leave the area. Around 25 camps were notified, and a good majority of them were occupied. SEE HOMELESS, P4
