(The Center Square) – The federal government will embed an employee to assist Denver in advancing its work to reduce homelessness.

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston was joined by two members of President Joe Biden’s administration on Wednesday to announce the city was joining Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Seattle and the state of California as “ALL INside” communities. In addition to embedding federal workers in cities, the Biden administration is creating dedicated teams throughout to deal with federal regulatory barriers affecting housing, health care and other areas.
