More than a decade ago, author Marrton Dormish began learning about the everyday realities and challenges faced by his neighbors on the margins and how many of them intersect with the basic human need for shelter.

His latest publication, The Sweep Report 2.0: Housing from below in Broomfield, Colorado, USA, is a chronicle of stories, statistics and analysis that traces how housing shaped and continues to shape his hometown of Broomfield, the Denver metro area and beyond. His from-the-ground-up critique of existing housing dynamics centers the realities of suburban homelessness and housing instability and concludes with a call to all local stakeholders to undertake near-future actions toward comprehensive housing stability.

It is a challenge that belongs to each and every resident, not just people who are sleeping in their vehicles or struggling to make ends meet. And despite its complexity, it is a challenge that can be met.
