In this conversation, two sides probe how finance, policy, and lived experience intersect in Denver’s homelessness crisis. The investors explain that while they run a conventional fund, their real emphasis is on mission-driven work—using market tools when useful and social interventions when needed—citing efforts like regenerative agriculture to illustrate systemic, long-horizon change.
Both sides converge on the need for solutions grounded in first-hand understanding—“taking inventory” before prescribing fixes—and for shifting economic incentives so housing becomes attainable, dignity is protected, and public policy stops treating visibility of poverty as the problem.
