The Mission of the Colorado Homeless Housing Coalition
We provide affordable housing with down payment and closing cost assistance, we provide ground level (podium level) medical and mental health services to the building and area residents. We provide financial and credit counseling when needed. This population is easier to assist because the main issue is affordable housing and transportation. Both are addressed within our program guidelines. Plus, we assist further by providing onsite medical care.
