Mayor Mike Johnston's administration is partnering with Housing Connector.

DENVER — Denver announced a partnership with a nonprofit organization adding support to the city's goal of housing homeless people as fast as possible before year’s end.

Mayor Mike Johnston’s administration partnered with Housing Connector, a “tech-for-good” nonprofit increasing housing access for people who need it, according to the organization's website.

The mayor’s office, in a news release, said the partnership supports Johnston’s promise of housing 1,000 homeless people by year’s end.

Johnston believes the city’s connection with Housing Connector “will help us deliver on our goal of ensuring every Denverite is housed by getting people directly into leased, permanent units and helping them stay housed for years to come,” the mayor said in a statement.
