EXCERPT:

JOHNSTON: “So, we've always had a length of stay policy here, which was generally individual adults can stay for 14 days, and families can stay for 37 days. We paused that for about four to six weeks during very, very cold times in November and December. Every hotel room we have in the city of Denver is full. We have 5,000 people in shelter, and we have more coming every day. And so we have to reactivate the policy we've always had, which is you can come and stay for a length of time, but it can't be forever.”
