The City and County of Denver has approved a third amendment to its agreement with The Salvation Army to extend the Lambuth Center contract and provide an additional $394,372 in funding, bringing the total contract to $1,627,488. This amendment extends the contract for another 12 months, until December 31, 2025, to continue supporting shelter operations and rehousing efforts for homeless families. The Lambuth Family Center provides 24-hour shelter operations for up to 20 families at a time, offering case management, housing navigation, three daily meals, access to laundry, and other supportive services. The program follows a Housing First model, focusing on rapidly transitioning families into permanent housing.
This funding extension ensures continued support for homeless families in Denver by providing emergency shelter and critical case management services. By prioritizing stable housing solutions, the program reduces homelessness and improves long-term stability for vulnerable households.
