RURAL PROGRAMS

Homelessness is not just an urban problem—thousands of families and individuals in Colorado's small cities and towns are also affected. In fact, some circumstances that contribute to homelessness are heightened in rural communities: low wages, seasonal jobs, limited mass transit, limited affordable rental housing, higher rates of domestic violence and lack of social service and other charitable organizations.

The Coalition’s Rural Initiatives Program is a collaboration currently uniting 14 homeless service providers. Together they operate 12 transitional housing programs, one permanent supportive housing program and one supportive services program. These initiatives provide rental assistance and support services to help families and individuals move from homelessness to housing stability and self-sufficiency. The Coalition’s Rural Initiatives Program served 148 families with transitional and permanent housing in 2011.
