Issue Education Monday

"Westword" recently published a photo-journalism article documenting Denver's homeless population after the community at Sustainability Park were asked to leave. Below is the text of the article and links to the photos.

Portraits of Homeless

When the Denver Police Department sent officers to raid an encampment of tiny homes at Sustainability Park last October, "something in me snapped," says photographer Paula Bard.

"I began walking those streets where the homeless are trying to survive, photographing the faces of those my city has abandoned."

The result is Bard's portrait of Denver's homeless that we're sharing in conjunction with Chris Walker's current story, "Is Denver Going for a Clean Sweep of the City's Homeless?"
