One more thing… Guy said that they are both seeing an uptick in the number of guests seeking
shelter in the last few weeks and they attribute that to the Boulder shelter hitting the 90 day limit
for stays during the winter months.

Hi Jeff,
I received an email from Guy Mendt with Catholic Charities with the following information
describing the number of “turn aways” for the week of 3/15 – 3/21. I’m not sure how you would
like to report this to Darin or Council. Please, let me know if you need me to do anything with
this information at this point.
Catholic Charities Mission
Guy Mendt report
3/15: 1 man
3/16: 0
3/17: 0
3/18: 0
3/19: 4 men
3/20: 0
3/21: 0
For a total of 5 turned away for no space available. Note that when guests are turned away they still
have time to get to the Fort Collins Rescue Mission to see if space is available there.
Fort Collins Rescue Mission
Tom Konstanty report
The only day we actually turned people away was on 3/19, and it was three men.
That being said, while it was not turning guests away, we did overfill past our established, overflow
capacity (squeezed extra in) on every day during 3/17-3/22 (3/16 withstanding from your range). Had
we held to that established number, we would have turned away 36 total.
3/17: Over 2 men/1 woman
3/18: Over 4 men/2 women
3/19: Over 6 men and 3 turned away
3/20: Over 1 man/3 women
3/21: Over 5 men/3 women
3/22: Over 4 men/2 women
