The amendment increases funding by $500,000, bringing the total contract to $1,621,211, and extends the program through December 31, 2025. The Connection Center will continue providing immediate triage assessments, shelter referrals, crisis intervention, and case management services, streamlining access to housing and support programs. By centralizing intake and expanding service hours, the program aims to reduce barriers for those seeking emergency and long-term housing solutions.
Why it Matters
This expansion strengthens Denver’s approach to homelessness by centralizing access to housing resources, shelter referrals, and crisis intervention services. By extending the program, the city enhances its ability to provide immediate support, reducing wait times and improving service efficiency for families experiencing housing instability.
