That is Absolutely Amazing! Prayers for this mission.

It is imperative the public understand the type of entity that is Colorado Village Collaborative (CVC) and its creator Cole Chandler. From 2020 February to February 2022 I was, unfortunately, a resident of the temporary emergency homeless shelter (tiny home village) "Beloved Community Village (BCV)" "operated" by Colorado Village Collaborative (CVC) and Cole Chandler. I left attributable to not being safe. I was being harassed, stalked, verbally abused, racially violated, and was threatened with the use of a firearm. I remain unhoused. Residents are engaged in drug trafficking, prostitution, child pornography, racism, gun violence, sanitation violations, menacing, stalking, harassment, threats, public disturbance, destruction of property, and verbal and physical altercations. Within these two (2) years of my residency at BCV I reported the individuals committing these and other crimes to law enforcement on no less than fifty (50) occasions. It was I, not "Beloved Community Village" staff, Colorado Village Collaborative, or Cole Chandler, that addressed sanitation violations. I frequently submitted reports about rats, trash, defecation and feces populating the grounds and in the "community" house at this temporary emergency homeless shelter to Danica Lee the Director of Public Health Inspections Division Denver Department of Public Health and Environment Furthermore, as I review the Colorado Village Collaborative website, I notice individuals in pictures from "Beloved Community Village" and SOS sites who engage in criminal activity, destroyed "units" at "Beloved Community Village," and who did not locate "housing" as Cole Chandler has stated, but "transitioned" to one of the many (un)safe outdoor spaces. Cole Chandler and Colorado Village Collaborative (CVC) are not interested in stopping crime at and inviting crime to BCV. Now BCV is relocating to the 4100/4200 blocks of North Monroe by 30 April 2022. Cole Chandler and CVC's negligence only emboldens these criminals to continue their insidious behaviour and from one move to the next additional communities (schools, parks, neighbourhoods) are being adversely impacted. Other violations by Cole Chandler and CVC include an extant resident I know at Beloved "Community" Village (BCV) who worked for a "Safe Outdoor Space" (SOS) also "operated" by CVC. This individual was told by CVC and BCV staff he was not allowed to take breaks, including a lunch break. BCV and CVC also stated to this individual that he was mandated to work overtime and without compensation for those extra hours. I informed this individual that those are EEOC and EEOE violations and he can file a lawsuit against CVC. After two weeks of employment at this SOS this individual resigned. In the early summer of 2020, there was an altercation between three residents of BCV and an intruder who scaled the fence surrounding BCV. This individual possessed a knife and went door to door calling for a resident of BCV. I later learned the intruder was upset with a particular resident for a bad drug deal and a tete a tete between his, the intruder and his girlfriend. Upon locating this resident, he proceeded to stab this individual. The altercation travelled outdoors where two other residents became involved. Punches were thrown and blood was shed. The individual wielding the knife escaped. I noticed a discoloration on the deck of the "community" house at BCV. By this time a BCV staff member had arrived (it was around 2:30 a.m.). She informed me the stains were blood and that another resident, not involved in the altercation, was attempting to "clean it up." I enquired if this BCV staff member was calling the police. She said "no, we will handle this internally." If I had not been a fool, I would have, and should have, contacted the police myself. It is an unwritten rule or form of intimidation at BCV that the police should never be contacted. Well, I "broke" that rule many times over and was, until the day I left BCV on 3 February 2022, harassed for doing so. This is how CVC operates. They believe they are an island, a sovereign nation, that laws do not apply to them. The Civil Rights of people or color residing at BCV are violated. Crime is to be expected and according to Cole Chandler and CVC doctrine, "a hands off approach is necessary to avoid hurting people's (the Caucasian residents) feelings." There are no rules. There are no standards. There are no expectations. No one is held accountable. Approving "Safe Outdoor Spaces" whether they be tents (cities), outdoor parking, or tiny homes is only sanctioning crime. One may not like this testimony or wish to deny what I experienced at BCV, again a Colorado Village Collaborative (CVC) operation, but I was there. For 730 days, two years, I witnessed and was subject to crimes from BCV Staff, residents, and their guests, and CVC and Cole Chandler are complicit. Finally, the public needs to be aware that BCV is a temporary emergency homeless shelter like Samaritan House, Saint Francis Center ( where I witnessed multiple overdoses and physical altercations), Crossroads, Denver Rescue Mission (where I witnessed multiple physical altercations and sanitation violations), Father Woody's Haven of Hope (during my use of this facility an individual died of Hepatitis C), and the like. In order to receive favorable dispensation from certain entities Cole Chandler needed to change or alter its name. "Beloved Community Village" "operated" by Cole Chandler and Colorado Village Collaborative is lawlessness and anarchy. Good Day, Dwayne Peterson

I have been a resident, unfortunately, of this "temporary emergency homeless shelter" since 2020 February. Residents are engaged in drug trafficking, racism, stalking, prositution, child pornograpgy, destruction of property, and physical and verbal altercations. I have contacted law enforcement on at least fifty (50) occasions. Colorado Village Collaborative ignore my complaints and promote a false narrative to the public that is in converse to the criminal activity by residents of this "temporary emergency homeless shelter." This tiny home village is anarchy and lawlessness.
