WELCOME OUR HEROES HOMEThe Returning Peace Corps Volunteers Satellite of Denver LoDo Rotary Club is working on a project, together with the Aurora and Denver Southeast clubs, to benefit the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless to Welcome Veterans Home. Renaissance Veterans Apartments is opening this winter on the Fitzsimons campus specifically for veterans currently experiencing homelessness, and the three Rotary clubs have reached out to help furnish it. These are small apartments, about 350 square feet, near the new VA Hospital and will have a counselor on-site 24/7. Because people are moving in literally with only the clothes they are wearing sometimes, the clubs are trying to gather everything from barstools to small upright dressers to pots and pans for 60 veterans to enjoy their new space. In metro Denver, veterans represent 11.5% of the population experiencing homelessness.
