OVERVIEW

The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless is recognized as a national leader in the integration of housing, healthcare and support services for persons experiencing homelessness.

The development of Permanent Affordable Housing is vital to our mission to create lasting solutions to homelessness. Thanks to the help of our generous donors and advocates, we now provide homes for nearly 2,100 individuals and families.

The Coalition’s Healthcare Services are delivered primarily through the Stout Street Clinic – 13,947 homeless men, women and children were treated in 2009.

Other homeless support services provided by the Coalition include Street Outreach, Rental Assistance, Benefits Acquisition, Employment Counseling and Childcare.

Responding to the growing incidence of homelessness in Colorado’s small towns, farming communities and mountain communities, the Coalition coordinates the Rural Initiatives Program – a collaboration uniting homeless service providers in fourteen locations throughout rural Colorado.

We continually raise public awareness of homelessness at local, state and national levels through Education and Advocacy programs designed for policy-makers, community and business leaders, other homeless service organizations, students, the news media and the general public.
