We are in need of your support to organize our Colorado House shopping space for Partner families! We are very excited to offer this location for families to shop. It is more accessible to mothers in the program who need to restock on diapers for babies, food for their families, and hygiene items frequently.
Partner families are families that are currently enrolled in the Partners in Housing program and frequently are single, homeless mothers escaping domestic violence situations. When Partner families shop at Colorado House, you are giving mothers in the Colorado Springs community a chance to rebuild their home and work towards stability, self-reliance, and prosperity.

Mission Statement
Partners in Housing guides families in housing crisis from insecurity to stability, self-reliance, and prosperity.
Description
Partners in Housing is a Colorado Springs non-profit that provides a year of transitional housing and supportive services to families experiencing or at imminent risk of homelessness. We have 68 housing units that range in size from motel-style apartments to single-family homes. We have both centralized and scattered locations. We provide families in our Family Self-Sufficiency Program one-on-one budget and credit counseling, individualized case management, resource navigation, housing navigation, career readiness sessions, life skills classes, access to two free Donation Centers (includes items such as canned goods, hygiene products, diapers, kitchenware, bedding, clothing, furniture, and mattresses), and on-site childcare. Last year, 90% of the families in our program successfully moved onto safe and stable housing upon graduation.
