Over the course of the last year, the city of Denver has paid homeless people to work for the city, which has resulted in 284 people finding long-term employment, 15 of whom have been hired by the city.

The Denver Day Works program, which launched on November 1st, 2016, paid homeless residents $12.50 per hour to perform public service work for the city. No background checks were required – all participants had to do was show up for a 3 to 6 hour shift. Even residents who lacked identification were given supplementary help so they could be given the same experience.
