Colorado Village Collaborative exists to bridge the gap between the streets and stable housing. We create, operate, and advocate for transformational shelter communities in partnership with people experiencing homelessness. We currently manage three Micro-Communities that create community and provide broad, wrap‑around services for people experiencing homelessness, including regular meals, safety and security for the individual, their belongings, and pets. Our program theory posits that by prioritizing human dignity, an equitable housing‑first approach, trauma‑informed care, and a safe and supportive environment, coupled with access to resources such as mental health services, substance misuse treatment, and case management, we can work to break the cycle of homelessness and help individuals regain stability in their lives.
