The Indigenous writers and developers of “Molly of Denali” also share their own stories and find healing in the process.
Now that tiny home village and a coed one in the Globeville neighborhood, both of which are run by the Colorado Village Collaborative, are about to achieve their own form of stability through a major financial boost from the City of Denver.
On February 24, a Denver City Council committee is scheduled to vote on a contract of just over $1 million that would fund the CVC for three years of operations and services at the two tiny home villages. If the full council approves the contract in March, it would be a major increase over the city s current commitment to such facilities. In 2020, Denver sent $125,000 to the Colorado Village Collaborative, while this newest contract would allot $335,000 annually.
