Help make a house a home for a new homeless family entering Family HomeStead's emergency or transitional housing programs. In 4 - 6 hours on a Saturday or during the week, you and your group of 10 -15 friends or colleagues will paint and clean up an apartment to prepare it for a new family that needs our help.
Family HomeStead will provide all the supplies. It is helpful if the volunteer group can help underwrite the cost of the project, although this is not required.
Volunteers will be supervised at all times and will receive a short orientation to our organization prior to the start of your project. Lift-a-Hammer projects are currently NOT open to youth groups.

About Family HomeStead

PO BOX 40186, DENVER, CO 80204, US
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.
