Denver voters will decide whether to raise the sales tax to create a fund to fight homelessness

Denver’s City Council is asking voters to increase the sales tax by 0.25 percent for programs to get people out of homelessness.

The tax, amounting to 2.5 cents on every $10 purchased, would raise an estimated $40 million a year (likely less in the first year because of the current pandemic-caused economic downturn) for a Homelessness Resolution Fund.
