Class of Housing/Services: Emergency Transitional Housing

General Information:
Office hours: Mondays through Fridays 8am to 4:30pm.  The Emergency Housing Program accepts referrals from shelters, safehouses, and other homeless service providers throughout the Denver Metro Area including the Denver Department of Human Services, Brandon Center, the Interfaith Hospitality Network, Samaritan House, the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless and many others. For the first 30 days of a maximum 90-day period, an apartment is provided without charge. Case managers develop an individualized case plan with each family that helps them learn to live in independent housing while the parents strive to develop a source of income, begin the search for next-step housing, and deal with concerns that are pertinent to their particular family. Case managers provide resources and referrals as needed to help clients achieve the goals outlined in their case plan. The Transitional Housing Program provides independent housing and case management for a maximum period of six months and gives priority to families leaving Family HomeStead’s Emergency Housing Program, shelters, and safehouses. In most transitional families, the head-of-household is employed full-time, in school full-time or a combination of both. Individualized case plans identify and build on strengths; describe areas of concern and appropriate measures to strengthen those areas; and set goals for the time of the Family HomeStead stay. Of primary importance is finding permanent housing as well as developing and maintaining an income to support that housing. Because it is difficult for clients with limited income to save the necessary funds to acquire long-term housing, Family HomeStead offers families an incentive to complete our program by providing an opportunity to apply for a grant payable to their next landlord. The grant pays up to the amount of the first month’s rent.
