When the Denver Police Department sent officers to raid an encampment of tiny homes at Sustainability Park last October, “something in me snapped,” says photographer Paula Bard.
“I began walking those streets where the homeless are trying to survive, photographing the faces of those my city has abandoned.”
The result is Bard’s portrait of Denver’s homeless that we’re sharing in conjunction with Chris Walker’s current story, “Is Denver Going for a Clean Sweep of the City’s Homeless?”

Will you step up to support Westword this year?
At Westword, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $20,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $50,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of Westword, now’s the time to give back.
