Gov. Bill Ritter led a group of dignitaries at a ceremonial ground-breaking Thursday for 98 apartments that will be built by the homeless for the homeless.
The Uptown Lofts in Denver’s Capitol Hill neighborhood will be a product of the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless’ Renaissance Works jobs program, which provides street people with construction jobs.
“This is about constructing a building, but more importantly, it’s about constructing hope,” Ritter said.
Once complete, formerly homeless and low-income residents will live there.
