housing and family stabilization

Daniella never anticipated where her life was headed when she bought roundtrip tickets to California from Italy five years ago. She planned a three-month trip to be with her partner, but quickly discovered she was pregnant. The couple eloped and shortly after Daniella began noticing signs of hostility and control in her husband.

We can readily admit to a housing crisis that is ever more apparent in our community, our state and our nation as a whole. So what are we doing about it? Does everyone count?

Last year, Family Tree served nearly 5,000 people with direct, face-to-face services.  While each one of these people’s stories is unique, there is one thing they all have in common; the story never begins and rarely ends with Family Tree.

I met Vicki and her husband Mac in December of 2011. They were both veterans of the United States Navy. And desperate to get off the streets.

Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week is an annual collaboration across the country to draw attention to the issues of hunger and homelessness, and will be taking place November 16-24, 2019. Family Tree is extending this week to the entire month of November to help educate our community about homelessness in the Denver metro area and how you can help.

On any given day, there are 5,755 people experiencing homelessness in the Denver metro area, according to the 2019 Point In Time survey. Metro Denver Homeless Initiative conducts the survey on one night in January every year as part of a national effort to collect a comprehensive count of those experiencing homelessness and measure our national and regional progress in addressing homelessness.
