Mission Statement
The mission of MDHI is to plan, develop, and implement a comprehensive continuum of care and opportunity, to identify and eliminate gaps in present systems, to reduce duplication of service, and, with emphasis on prevention, unite housing and service providers, neighborhoods, funders, business, and non-profit organizations, government agencies, and other groups and individuals across the metro area in an ongoing effort to break the cycle of homelessness and help homeless persons achieve and maintain maximum self-sufficiency.
Description

The seven participating counties include Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, and Jefferson. MDHI is governed by a Board of Directors with 25 members representing homeless service providers, government agencies, business community and consumers.
