The contract will run through December 31, 2027 and will serve 30 youth households per year using an annual budget of $900,000.

The program prioritizes youth between ages 18–24 referred through the OneHome coordinated entry system and is funded through HOME TBRA and the City’s General Fund. This agreement builds upon Urban Peak’s track record in youth housing stabilization and supports HOST’s broader mission to ensure all Denver residents are healthy, housed, and connected.
