We End Homelessness One Person at a Time
Although known for providing up to 160 beds each night and hot meals, the Boulder Shelter for the Homeless is actually Housing Focused and is committed to the idea of leveraging its efforts and resources to effect as many exits from homelessness as possible. Housing Focus is an approach that prioritizes breaking the cycle of homelessness by focusing on any available assistance and intervention that leads to a safe and stable place to live, as quickly as possible.
How Housing Focused Shelter Works
Housing Focused shelter works by providing temporary shelter to people experiencing homelessness while rapidly working to connect them with permanent housing solutions. We provide a pathway to permanent housing, based on a foundation of safe shelter, food, mental health counseling, medical assistance and case management support that helps them overcome the many obstacles they face in obtaining permanent housing. Every single client staying at the Shelter is offered the same access to resources and services that will help them end their homelessness.
