JFS Rapid Re-housing program: helping to end homelessness

Watch Yolanda’s story to learn more about our services and how your support makes a difference. 

For more than 25 years, JFS has provided services for homelessness prevention and housing assistance for our unhoused neighbors in the seven-county Denver metro area, including Boulder County. We view housing as the foundation for improving a client’s life, along with wraparound services, and that once stable housing is achieved, individuals and families can focus on finding employment, taking care of their mental health, and working toward self-sufficiency. 

Our Rapid Rehousing program helps those currently experiencing homelessness by quickly moving them into permanent housing, providing assistance with initial rent and utilities payments, supporting them to gain stability, and helping find employment.

We collaborate with other agencies, officials, and community partners to collectively address the homelessness crisis, but we need your support to continue to be there for those who need us most. Did you know that JFS participates in the Homeless Contribution Tax Credit (HCTC) program? The HCTC program provides a state income tax credit to Colorado taxpayers who contribute to eligible homelessness-related projects within Colorado, which includes our Emergency Housing Assistance and Rapid Rehousing programs.
