New Program Stops Homelessness Before It Starts
7 Mar
Summary
- Prevention program offers financial aid to at-risk families.
- School districts partner with Denver Rescue Mission for early intervention.
- Assistance helps families avoid eviction and financial ruin.
As economic pressures mount, families with children are increasingly facing homelessness. Denver Rescue Mission has initiated a pilot Prevention Program in Poudre and Jefferson County School Districts to proactively address this crisis.
This program embeds caseworkers within school districts, enabling them to receive referrals from school staff for families experiencing financial hardship but not yet evicted. The goal is to provide timely financial assistance, preventing them from losing their homes.
