Mission & Focus Areas
The Coalition’s mission is to work collaboratively to prevent homelessness and create lasting solutions for families, children, and individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness throughout Colorado. It advocates for and provides a continuum of housing and services intended to improve the health, well-being, and stability of those it serves.
Its filing describes housing services that include shelter placement, transitional and supportive housing, residential recovery programming, children’s and employment programs, crisis intervention, rapid access to housing, case management, and therapeutic and clinical services, including behavioral health and substance use treatment. Its health care services include primary and preventive care, dental care, and medical and mental health services. Its education and advocacy work includes public education and advocacy for policies to prevent and resolve homelessness.
The Coalition’s 2025 grants supported organizations whose own stated missions include providing housing, shelter, or services to people experiencing homelessness or low incomes. For example, Posada says it provides supportive services, housing, and shelter to homeless and low-income people in Pueblo. Other 2025 grantees describe work addressing domestic violence and homelessness: Family Tree says it works to prevent and overcome child abuse, domestic violence, and homelessness; SHARE says it focuses on eliminating domestic violence through community involvement, empowerment, and care for children; Help for Abused Partners says it provides advocacy, shelter, and support to victims; and Advocates Against Domestic Assault says it provides shelter and counseling to domestic assault victims.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, the Coalition reported 11 grants totaling $964,632. Grant amounts ranged from $8,140 to $183,413, with a median of $74,997.

Their stated purposes were housing assistance and case management. Other listed grants supported housing assistance and case management or case management.
The Coalition’s website lists an RFP for general construction services for Park Avenue Apartments, with a submission deadline of June 25, 2025. That deadline has passed. A separate 2022–2024 process solicited applications for sub-recipient work under the Bezos Day 1 Families Fund.
