- Urban Alchemy is beating goals at the embattled homeless shelter it runs
Urban Alchemy manages the hotel homeless shelter called the Aspen in Denver, exceeding goals set by the Department of Housing Stability and alleviating concerns among City Council members. The nonprofit reported success metrics including 93% occupancy and high rates of case management access for guests. Despite this performance, some residents have noted increased dependence after a policy change concerning room access.
