Shelter
Families in the Shelter Program stay overnight at local faith congregations, moving every Sunday or every other Sunday to a new location. Each overnight location is staffed by trained volunteers with 24-hour support from the Family Promise of Greater Denver staff. Each family has their own space at the congregation for sleeping and storing their belongings. Additionally, families receive help with transportation, access to showers and laundry facilities, and individualized case management and housing navigation.
To get on our Shelter Waitlist please call the Connection Center at 303-295-3366 to complete an intake and get on the waitlist.
We are unable to accept walk-ins.

Staying with Family or Friends or Hotel you pay for?
