For more than 130 years, we have been committed to serving people experiencing homelessness in Colorado and that commitment is growing. We are investing $27 million in the Northern Colorado Homeless Resolution Center, a purpose-built, state-of-the-art facility in Fort Collins opening early next year. With 250 beds, on-site licensed clinicians, job training, addiction recovery support and case management all under one roof, it will allow us to serve more people, more effectively, than ever before.
As we prepare for that opening, Harvest Farm in Wellington will transition from its long-running recovery program on June 30 to serve as an emergency shelter for men experiencing homelessness, bridging the gap until the new facility opens at which point Harvest Farm will close.
Men currently in our recovery program are being connected individually with our case managers to ensure a supported transition to appropriate next steps.
This is a significant change, and we don’t take it lightly. Harvest Farm has been central to this community’s work for decades, and we are grateful for every partner, volunteer and donor who made it what it is.
“This positions us for greater impact in Northern Colorado and in Denver over the next decade by providing a safer, more stable environment for individuals pursuing recovery while helping them transition as quickly as possible to the next appropriate step in their journey.”
Dennis Van Kampen, President/CEO
The new center honors that legacy by expanding what we can offer to the people we serve, helping to end homelessness in even more lives in the future.
