The mission of the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless is to work collaboratively toward the prevention of homelessness and the creation of lasting solutions for homeless and at‑risk families, children, and individuals throughout Colorado. We advocate for and provide a continuum of housing and services to improve the health, well‑being, and stability of those we serve.

Our Philosophy of Service:
We believe all people have the right to adequate housing and health care. We work to remove barriers that restrict access to these rights and create lasting solutions to homelessness through honoring dignity, building trauma‑informed communities, advocating for equity, continuous quality improvement, and effective resource use.
