If we reach $75,000, it will enable us to help 15 families avoid eviction, and allow us to meet the rising need we are seeing at a time when it is so important to do so. We hope you will consider donating to this campaign to help us reach this goal.

Housing continues to be a pressing issue in North Denver Metro as inflation and the rising cost of groceries have heavily impacted family budgets. Growing Home has seen a rise in the number of individuals and families seeking basic needs support like supplemental housing assistance.

Every day 15-20 families contact Growing Home seeking housing assistance because they are at risk of eviction.

Growing Home’s mission has long revolved around homelessness prevention, a process that begins by stabilizing at-risk families with rent, mortgage and utility assistance. This assistance is paired with case management that helps families identify root causes of financial instability and develop long-term plans for stable and affordable housing. Our network of programs and services support individuals and families on the road to economic stability and long term success.

When families thrive, communities thrive.

25 years ago, Growing Home, a North Denver nonprofit, was born of the belief that families could help families in the community.

We evolved from a shelter resource to interconnected bilingual programs that primarily serve disadvantaged families. We believe that lived experience is a guide to evolving solutions. We create better when we think together.

When individuals come to Growing Home in crisis, our approach is to serve their immediate needs and go upstream with them to identify the root cause that got them there, set goals, and work toward lasting change.  We recognize that this transition is different for everyone, and our mission is to facilitate this process with dignity by providing coaching and case management to help build skills and confidence toward self-sufficiency.

We have learned that keeping families in their homes is better than providing a temporary shelter. With little or no savings, many people are one flat tire away from crisis.  By offering financial assistance, we are saying we care that children know where they are going to sleep at night.

We have learned that when we offer people choices like tortillas and salsa in our food pantry, we are also offering love, respect of culture, and encouragement through food.

When our educators visit parents in their homes and guide them as their child’s first teacher, we empower them with a dream that jumpstarts their little ones’ path to learning.

By coming together in our community garden to plant and harvest, we foster collaboration and cultivate new leaders that can advocate for their communities.

When families thrive, communities thrive. It brings us full circle to the concept of families helping families.

We hope you will be part of our Growing Home journey.
