Aurora currently has thirty pallet shelters measuring eight feet by eight feet that the city and nonprofits worked together to build and manage.

Cole Chandler, the mayor's senior adviser on his homelessness resolution plan, tells reporters they'll serve forty to 100 people across seven to ten"micro-communities."Johnston said the city is currently working on whittling down the list of potential sites for the micro-communities, with the intention of having them"widely spread around the city" once everything is settled."We'll have options in all the city council districts," he told reporters.
"We want to take what has been historically very concentrated services of large numbers of people in a small part of the city and actually decentralize those," Johnston explained."So you have people in smaller communities spread out to different parts of the city."
