On Wed, May 1st, CCH will celebrate 40 years of creating lasting solutions to homelessness through homes, health, & hope. All CCH facilities will be closed to the public for the day to allow staff to attend a celebration event. Operations will resume as normal on Thurs, May 2nd.
"I myself was an agricultural worker," and Community Health Centers "ensure that agricultural workers are informed, educated, and they feel welcome to receive the services they deserve." Thank you, Rocio, from @amplahealth, for sharing at #AgWorker24! #ValueCHCs
April is Second Chance Month, and advocates across the country are working to remove the barriers people face because of an arrest or conviction record. #CleanSlate is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves a second chance to pursue their dreams. #MoreThanSecondChances
New data shows average rent increases are slowing. However, eviction filings are worryingly high, up 21% compared to 2023. "It's very hard for the average family to make ends meet in this climate," warns Colorado Housing Connects. denver7.com/news/local-new…
Happy #NationalVolunteerWeek! Thank you to the amazing volunteers who help us work towards our mission of preventing homelessness and who embody our philosophy of service. We held a celebration Tuesday evening to thank these volunteers for their selfless work.
Listening to the oral arguments in #JohnsonVGrantsPass, here are some of the powerful statements against criminalizing homelessness: 🧵1/?
Colorado is now one of numerous states across the country with For or Just Cause Eviction protections in place. Find out more about HB24-1098 here: denverpost.com/2024/04/19/col…
@MayorJohnsonCO & @CityofDenver are combating climate change & supporting the community through innovative projects. By installing a solar array on the rooftop of the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, they are cutting costs & providing clean, reliable energy. ☀️🏢 #EarthWeek
Providing access to affordable homes & voluntary services is more effective at ending homelessness than outdated & dehumanizing strategies like fines and arrests. Learn about what communities can do instead: tinyurl.com/mr3b7p4t #HousingNotHandcuffs #JohnsonVGrantsPass
Without ID documents, CO residents can't open bank accounts, cash a check, pick up certain prescriptions, board a plane, or access health care, housing, employment, or public benefits. #SB211 would make it easier for people to access these documents. #NecessaryDocumentProgram
Our founders were out of town recently helping @COCoalition purchase supplies for their homeless population. Your donations helped give those in need much needed food items. Our warmest thanks for helping us support this great organization!
Thank you to everyone who attended our April 2024 Ed Series session last week on "Serving the Migrant Population in CO: How the Homelessness Crisis and Newcomer Crisis Intersect." We uploaded the English and Spanish recordings on our YT, ow.ly/K1Rv50RmHmU #CCHEdSeries

"Advocating for CHCs is important to me because I know the hardship that farmworkers endure in getting healthcare...I was a migrant farmworker. Not only did I become a board member, I became an elected official so that I could advocate for legislation." #AgWorker24 #ValueCHCs
Many cities already do this and it doesn’t work. Homelessness is growing because millions of Americans are just one paycheck away from sleeping outside. Jails & fines will not solve the housing & homelessness crisis—they make it worse. #JohnsonVGrantsPass #HousingNotHandcuffs

We are proud to announce that SB24-211 was introduced in the Senate by @NickForCO. This bill would eliminate the need for a physical voucher, allowing eligible individuals to access ID documents at the point of service. Join us in supporting #SB24-211! #NecessaryDocuments

"At the heart of the case, Grants Pass, Oregon v. Johnson, is whether cities solve homelessness through housing or whether they can punish people experiencing homelessness with tickets and fines, even when the city does not have shelter for them." tinyurl.com/y7z94rub

Don’t usually do *this* but, thread: Monday, SCOTUS debates the criminalization of homelessness. That means many folks are sounding off on the topic. I’ve spent 4 yrs covering this for @washingtonpost, and need to reality-check assumptions getting thrown around this week (1/x)
