This section of Urban Peak’s dorm-style youth shelter on Acoma Street in Denver is for minors, ages 12 to 18. There is now just one other homeless shelter in the state with designated space for youth, a 28-bed shelter called The Landing in Loveland. Homeless outreach workers in Colorado Springs, Boulder and elsewhere are calling Urban Peak to see if they have space for more teenagers. Urban Peak CEO Christina Carlson spins the pieces of an interactive art display made with blocks designed by residents of the youth homeless shelter. She credits Urban Peak — all three of the locations where she has lived — for helping her get through the past three years.
