Denver reworks how it measures success of homeless housing plan

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:10:35 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — The city of Denver is changing how it measures how long the homeless stay in its program to get people indoors.Mayor Mike Johnston said he hopes the new system is more transparent and provides additional valuable data.“We want to show you how long folks have been there and also what the nature of the exits are and why they are happening,” Johnston said.The major change is in how the city measures the number of days an unhoused person remains in the program. Until now, the 14-day mark was key in measuring the program’s progress, but the new mark has been more than doubled to 30 days. Denver breaks ground on 5-story shelter for veterans, families Johnson said the new data on the House1000 program dashboard will be more comprehensive and impactful.“It shows you exactly on (a) pie chart where folks are that are under 30 days and those that are there over 30 days, and it shows you exactly anyone that has exited no matter when they exited. This is a more accountable, mor...

Meghan Jones makes history with Chicago Cubs: ‘It’s not lost on me the importance of having representation at this level’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:10:35 GMT

Meghan Jones always loved sports and thought it would be fun to work in the industry.That journey evolved over the last seven years. Jones didn’t exactly have a plan when the Chicago Cubs hired her in August 2016 as the executive assistant to then-president of baseball operations Theo Epstein and then-general manager Jed Hoyer.“I never knew that it was necessarily possible or how to get there,” Jones told the Tribune, “and so when I found my foot in the door to the EA position, I just told myself, ‘Title aside, let me see what the Cubs need to do and how I can help make an impact.’“That being said, I knew that the EA title and EA role didn’t have a very traditional trajectory out, and so I’ve been intentional to job-craft and ebb and flow with what the Cubs needed and it has taken me to where I am today.”Last month the Cubs promoted Jones, 32, to vice president of baseball strategy, making her the first woman to hold a VP t...

Two weeks after a Cook County judge overturned his murder conviction, Darien Harris is expected to be a free man again after prosecutors said Tuesday they will not retry him in a fatal shooting at a South Side gas station.Harris was an 18-year-old high school senior with a clean criminal record when prosecutors charged him in an ambush-style attack that left one man dead and another seriously injured in June 2011. His conviction was based in part on the testimony of an eyewitness who turned out to be legally blind.Now 30, Harris has spent the last 12 years behind bars fighting for a new trial. He has long maintained his innocence, saying he was at home watching LeBron James play in the NBA finals between the Miami Heat and the Dallas Mavericks.Outside of court Tuesday, his mother said she can’t wait for her son to meet his 5-year-old sister and celebrate the holidays with his family. She also thanked supporters, including the Rev. Corey Brooks and community activist Ja’M...

Red Sox notebook: Yankees get new Jeter, now have 2/3 players from Betts trade

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:10:35 GMT

The theme of the New York Yankees’ Tuesday was the number two:With a waiver pickup, they officially have an infielder named Jeter (Downs) for the second time. He can’t wear No. 2, though, as the Yankees retired it for his namesake.And since they acquired Alex Verdugo from the Red Sox earlier this month, they now have two of the three players sent to Boston in the 2020 Mookie Betts trade. Only Connor Wong remains.The four-year anniversary of that trade – arguably the most significant since the sale of Babe Ruth – is almost exactly two months away. Since that fateful day, Downs has gone from the top prospect in the transaction to a twice-designated-for-assignment infielder. The Red Sox cut him loose last offseason, and the Washington Nationals did the same last week, enabling the Yankees to claim him.Downs has only played 20 career games in the Majors – 14 with the ’22 Red Sox, six with the ’23 Nats – but his new organization got more of a look at him than almo...
