OUR MISSION

The mission of the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless is to work collaboratively toward the prevention of homelessness and the creation of lasting solutions for homeless and at-risk families, children, and individuals throughout Colorado.

The Coalition advocates for and provides a continuum of housing and a variety of services to improve the health, well-being and stability of those it serves.

Since its founding almost 25 years ago, the organization has earned state and national recognition for its integrated healthcare, housing and service programs.

The Coalition’s comprehensive approach addresses the causes of homelessness, as well as the consequences, offering critical assistance to over 15,000 individuals and families each year.

Our Philosophy of Service

We believe all people have the right to adequate housing and healthcare. We work to remove the barriers that restrict access to these rights. Society benefits when adequate housing and healthcare are available to everyone.

We create lasting solutions to homelessness by:

1.       Honoring the inherent dignity of those we serve, affirming their capabilities and fostering their hope that a better life is possible.

2.       Building strong, caring communities through the integration of housing, healthcare and supportive services;

3.       Advocating for social equity and challenging the status quo on behalf of the individuals and families we serve;

4.       Achieving excellence through continuous quality assurance, innovation and professional development; and

5.       Using resources judiciously and effectively.
