Program Overview
Colorado Coalition for the Homeless operates a range of integrated programs to support children and families. These include Family Support Services, Pediatric Services at the Stout Street Health Center, Eye and Dental Care, Child, Adolescent, and Family Therapy, and Child Care at the Renaissance Children’s Center.
Children’s Program and Pediatric Services focus on all areas of a child’s health and development. We meet with families to identify the child’s needs and match those needs to services and resources in the community. We also work to empower parents to become advocates for their children.
Resource specialists provide outreach to shelters and housing programs. For additional information and referrals, please call (303) 312-9700 to speak with a resource specialist. The Coalition’s Family Support Services Program provides the following services:
- Emergency Shelter information and referrals
