Mission: Providence network is an urban, transformational housing organization that helps impoverished men, women and families heal from addictions, abuse and homelessness to become self-sufficient, productive members of the community. We achieve this through a living-in-community model that includes a 2-year "firststep" transitional housing program of individual counseling, group therapy, vocational assistance, life skills development, spiritual growth, and strict accountability with "24/7" live-in staff. Graduates are able to continue their growth in our "nextstep" drug & alcohol-free affordable and supportive apartment communities.
Programs: The organization operates four transformational properties in denver, colorado, which includes two level 1 "firststep" transitional programs and two level 2 "nextstep" drug & alcohol-free affordable and supportive apartment communities. These programs provide services to individuals and families in transition who are suffering the ill effects of dysfunctional relationships, destructive lifestyles, and homelessness. The firststep program provides subsidized housing, food, counseling, support groups, life skills development, job training, and healthy social activities. The nextstep community offers affordable rents in a healthy environment with access to supportive services as needed. In 2017/18, we operated 4 homes and served a total of 173 people. On any given day, those 4 homes combined can serve up to 140 people.
