Thousands of people are considered homeless in the Denver metro area. And finding a solution to the city’s growing homelessness crisis has been elusive so far. But Denver’s new mayor Mike Johnston says he has a plan. This week on Real Talk we dive deep into his ambitious goal to house 1,000 people by the end of the year. And hear from those on-the-ground combating the crisis every day. 

Real Talk airs on CPR News and KRCC on Fridays at 

p.m. and Mondays at 6:30 p.m. The TV show airs on Denver7 on Saturdays at 5:30 a.m. and Sundays at 5:30 p.m. It also airs on Local3 on Saturdays at 9:30 a.m. and Sundays at 6:30 p.m.
