DENVER (KDVR) — Denver is set to open a micro-community in the Overland Park neighborhood off South Santa Fe Drive on Monday. It’s part of Mayor Mike Johnston’s House1000 initiative. “The micro-community is going to provide opportunity to people to survive,” Denver District 7 Council Member Flor Alvidrez said. People from an encampment off Colfax Avenue and Umatilla Street will be moved to the community, which is made up of 60 tiny homes. The community will offer wraparound services, including medical care and employment services. “We have worked so hard to get to this point,” Alvidrez
