“One of the most refreshing attributes Jayde has is the deep and intentional thought she gives to practicing life on her own,” says Family Advocate Denise Vaughn about Joshua Station resident Jayde Bonato. “This is Jayde’s first time really on her own, and she is doing amazing at Joshua Station! She is so eager to […]
Dear Friends, I have several pieces of very good news to share: First, on October 13 we reached the goal of our capital campaign by raising $4.1 million in gifts from generous people like you! We still need additional support to complete the entire development and some special projects – but the successful completion of […]
Celebrating your beautiful generosity this week… The Christmas Store was a great success. “WOW” was the first word out of the mouth of virtually every first-time shopper who entered the big room of tables piled with brand-new gifts, arranged neatly by age level. Each parent (or couple) had a leisurely 30 minutes to browse gifts […]
So many of our generous donors are pre-scheduling their gifts for Colorado Gives Day. Will you join them today, in support of our resident families transitioning from homelessness?

Thirty years ago we threw together a makeshift store at the last minute after Thanksgiving, in response to a handful of moms who were crestfallen that they didn’t have money […]
Clara Brown, the Denver pioneer after whom our newest affordable housing project will be named, was born about 220 years ago. “About,” because due to her circumstances in slavery, she didn’t know her birthday. We do know the date of her death—October 23, 1885. Sadly, due to new pandemic restrictions last weekend in Denver, we […]
As you can imagine, we ALL were on Cloud Nine with our facilities manager Dylan Skeadas last week, complete with Superbowl MVP jokes flying around the office. But a 25% percent reduction in energy use over the past three years, including 16.5% last year, is no joke! So far we’ve saved over $10,000 per year, […]
