Well ... there goes the neighborhood ...
A similar project was tried in Anaheim as an experiment. The people who were placed in a newly-abandoned hotel either broke or stole plumbing and light fixtures, damaged or destroyed the furniture, soiled the carpets and matresses, and left hypodermic needles and used condoms all over the place. Three months after the experiment started, it "ran out of funding" and most of the people ended up back on the streets.
The hotel was bought for pennies on the dollar by a national hotel chain, which took almost a year and a half to refurbish the hotel and bring it back up to acceptable living standards.
(Of course, the local Media refuses to cover anything that impugns the images of Anaheim and Disneyland.)
Good luck, Denver! You'll need it...
