Homeward Pikes Peak

Housing First - Housing First is a housing and case management program for disabled adults who have substance abuse and chronic homelessness issues. Housing stability is the outcome, and flexible case management is the means to that end. The program finds housing for clients and helps them get food. Once these needs are met, clients are aided to obtain psychiatric medications, substance abuse treatment, and medical care. When some level of stability is reached, volunteering and reconnecting with family is encouraged. Eventually, clients no longer need home visits and graduate to fewer intensive programs, or completely independent living.HPP's Housing First program consists of a Dual Diagnosis Program, Veteran Specific Housing and Colorado Division of Housing case management services. In operation since 2007, the Dual Diagnosis program specializes in assisting the chronically homeless and seriously mentally ill adults with substance abuse issues. The Veteran Specific Housing Program began in 2015 when Rocky Mountain Human Services transferred the grant to HPP. In 2018, HPP began to provide case management for an additional group of individuals receiving rental assistance vouchers. This last program was previously administered by the Colorado Division of Housing and The Independence Center, but was transferred officially to HPP in mid-2022.

Bloom Residential Treatment Center - Opened in April 2023, the program for pregnant or postpartum women who have a substance abuse history provides a safe and stable sober living environment that keeps pregnant and mothers of toddlers together so that treatment and recovery can occur as a family. HPP is currently evaluating the economic sustainability of this program.

The Commons - Opened in April 2023, this affordable housing community has 50 units of permanent supportive housing for families and individuals experiencing chronic homelessness. The facility provides on-site case management services to support client needs.

Homeless Outreach - HPP's Street Outreach team creates relationships and meets individuals living in emergency shelter or surviving outside in their own environment. We collaborate with the Colorado Springs Police Department Homeless Outreach Team to build trust and educate individuals on the opportunity to enter shelter programs, housing, and healthcare services.

HPP Clinic Services - Homeward Pikes Peak Clinic Services is a Colorado State Office of Behavioral Health and is a licensed substance-use-disorder treatment provider. It provides substance-use-disorder counseling services to those without the means to pay for treatment. The majority of the clients are women, as its funding stresses that population. Its funding also provides incentives to engage in treatment and funding to reduce barriers for attending treatment. Individual therapy and group therapy are provided. Services are geared to gender-specific treatment and to those coming to treatment as a requirement of another agency. Evidenced-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing are used.

Harbor House Recovery Home - Harbor House Recovery Home is a transitional sober-living housing program that started in 2003. The objective is to take in homeless individuals struggling with substance abuse issues and return sober, self-sufficient taxpayers to the community. Clients first focus on their sobriety and then focus on their employment.

Project Detour - Project Detour is a transitional housing program for women who have a history of substance abuse (primarily opiates and alcohol), have been in jail, and are at risk of becoming homeless. The objective of the program is to provide safe and stable sober living environments, with access to services that support recovery, regaining parental rights if possible, gaining employment, and moving to independent housing. Clients receive intensive case management and are required to attend outpatient treatment within the first 90 days of entering the program. In mid-2021, HPP merged Project Detour with the Bloom Recovery Home transitional housing program to include pregnant or postpartum women who have a substance abuse history and are at risk of being homeless.
