The City and County of Denver has approved a second amendment to its contract with Family Promise of Greater Denver, Inc., adding $43,921 in funding and extending the contract through December 31, 2025. This brings the total contract amount to $605,085. The Family Promise Shelter Program offers up to eight units of emergency housing for families with minor children, pregnant individuals in their third trimester, and caregivers with dependent adult children. The program operates on a low-barrier, Housing First model, providing case management, meals, transportation assistance, and access to workforce development resources. The goal is to transition families into stable, permanent housing by addressing financial and logistical barriers to long-term housing security.
Expanding this contract ensures that homeless families in Denver receive crucial short-term housing and support services. By focusing on rapid rehousing and stabilization, the program helps prevent prolonged homelessness and improves long-term outcomes for vulnerable households.
