The Genesis Project of Northern Colorado operates out of a multi-family home in downtown Greeley. Single moms and their children live in one of our fully furnished one-bedroom or studio apartments while they advance through the phases of our program.
Our program allows participants the opportunity to stabilize and build a strong foundation of social, emotional, and life skills that will help them achieve economic self-sufficiency. Through counseling, family advocacy, and volunteer-led classes, moms assess their growth in five learning domains: Supportive Relationships, Holistic Health, Life Skills, Economic Self-Sufficiency, and Future Hopes.
Empowering Single Mothers in Their Pursuit of a New Beginning
Genesis was founded in 2002 by a group of women who understood the unique needs of single mothers and the financial struggle of raising children on one income. At that time, Genesis offered parenting support groups and classes through area churches. It became immediately apparent that low-cost housing was a huge need.
In 2017 a series of amazing events took place to allow GPNC to purchase a historic home in Greeley, Colorado’s downtown district. This home accommodates 6 individual families and a Resident Advisor in individual apartments and has common areas for classes, play, dining and laundry. Through generous donors and savings, the house was renovated and accepted its first program residents in 2018. In 2021, new program guidelines were adopted, allowing for families to not only benefit from housing, but also receive counseling, classes, and support with measurable outcomes.
