Family Promise of Greater Denver

Shelter: families experiencing homelessness receive shelter, meals, and supportive services while they work toward long-term housing. In 2023, the demand for our services continued to rise and year to date, we have served 500+ families. Unfortunately, the pandemic highlighted many of the barriers families encounter when applying for assistance in the Denver community. During the first two years of the pandemic, we assisted more families than ever before thanks to emergency funds disbursed by the government and local donations in the community. While in our shelter program, families receive three meals a day, help with transportation, access to showers and laundry facilities, and individualized case management and housing navigation.

Stabilization: the stabilization programs provide a maximum of two years of rent and utility assistance, along with in-home case management support, for families with children in arapahoe county. Families enrolled in these programs pay at least 30% of their income toward rent each month, and Family Promise covers the remainder. The ultimate goal is for every Family to achieve housing stability and financial independence throughout their time in the program.

Bridge housing: through master leased apartments, this program provides temporary housing for families while they seek long-term housing, income, and stability. The bridge housing program works with the onehome system and supports families with case management, transportation assistance, food assistance, and more until families move into their new homes.

Other programs: general program, prevention, rapid resolution, emergency rental assistance.
