Thank you for all your support through what has been a trying time for our organization!


This is a huge relief as it means we can continue to operate our facility at current spending levels and will not have to cut costs or staff


The great news is that the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) restored our funding in the amount of $73,500 per fiscal year.


DRCOG Funding Restored!


It scarred me somehow . . . Not the frostbite on my cheek that is always red or peeling, noticeable only by me. It was the despair I felt.

I recently slept on the streets of Denver for one month to protest a DRCOG funding cut from $75,000 to zero.


This disconcerting feeling, being without a compass, can only be compounded in someone who is both homeless and unemployed.


a place where I was valued, a place where I belonged and where I even fit in as a homeless person.


Being homeless gives you a feeling of being lost, of being wayward and without purpose or place. I was lucky I still had a job . . .

. . . many of our clients lose touch with their families as this level of concern puts enormous strain on relationships . . .


But at the root was genuine concern and a need to get me off the street. My gut tells me this is one of the reasons why . . .


...when on the streets, etc. Laundry lists of tasks would issue forth as if I had an army at my disposal.
