Provide holiday gifts for homeless families participating in Family HomeStead's emergency and transitional housing program. This is a SECRET SANTA project. Donors will receive a family profile listing wants and needs of each family member, including parents, and will then shop accordingly within specific spending guidelines. Donors should not wrap gifts for the children but provide wrapping paper and tape so that the parents can wrap for their own children. Please DO wrap gifts for the parents.
Donors must be able to deliver gifts items to the Family HomeStead office by a specified due date. At the end of the program, donors will receive a thank-you letter from Family HomeStead along with a thank-you note from the family.

Mission Statement
Famly HomeStead's mission is to "...house homeless families and end homelessness for individual families in our program in the Metro Denver Area...."
Description
Family HomeStead provides emergency and transitional housing and supportive case management to homeless families with children. Believingthat families with children do not belong in shelters, we place families in 31 emergency and 58 transitional apartments located in Denver and Jefferson County, CO. Case managers assist each family as the parents work to take charge of their family's life, develop a reliable income, and locate permanent affordable housing.
Client outcome objectives are that, upon program completion, 75% of families will have next-step housing, 75% will have income to support next-step housing, and 75% will effectively address the issues that caused their homelessness as identified in their case plan. Families meet or exceed these objectives year after year.
