Cheyenne addresses homelessness primarily through the Comea Shelter on Stinson Avenue and prohibits unauthorized camping in city parks and on public property under Title 9, with outreach coordinated through Laramie County human services.
Comea Shelter, located at 1504 Stinson Avenue, serves as the primary emergency shelter for individuals experiencing homelessness in Cheyenne and Laramie County, offering low-barrier overnight beds, meals, and case management. Cheyenne Municipal Code Title 9 and park ordinances prohibit camping or erecting tents on public property, in city parks, or along the Greenway without authorization. Cheyenne Police Department coordinates with Comea outreach workers and Laramie County Health and Human Services on enforcement and diversion to shelter resources. The harsh High Plains winters make shelter access especially critical, and the city historically expands cold-weather capacity through Comea partnerships.
Erecting tents or sleeping in city parks, along the Greenway, or on other public property risks Title 9 citations, removal of belongings, and trespass enforcement by Cheyenne Police.
