Testimonials

The GFH Board is a strong, dedicated group of community leaders, providing the staff with just the right amount of support and direction to fulfill the work of our mission. They further show their support by putting substantial effort into making all our fundraisers, including our signature event, Summerfest highly successful. The Board's support makes my leadership that much easier.

A growing affordable housing crisis in northern Colorado consumes much of our work in community organizing and advocacy. With a vacancy rate hovering around 2%, most of the population served is really struggling to find and maintain permanent affordable housing. Rents have increased dramatically making our work to move families into housing much more challenging.

Support from the local community-through individual donors and businesses has never been more important in helping fight housing instability in the Weld County community than it is now. Please consider becoming a Friend of the House - your $30/month donation keeps 1 family safely sheltered for 1 night.

Thank you in advance for your support of The Greeley Family House

FAMILY STORY

My family was struck by tragedy and the emotional trauma required we separate from family. My primary focus was to find a safe and secure place for me and my family. We found this sense of safety at the Greeley Family House. The GFH allowed me to find a new path and feel confident I can raise my children on my own. Without this assistance, I was lonely, lost and not sure I was able to do so. Making it even worse, I was laid off before entering the shelter and did not have time to look for a new position. Once housing was stable, I looked for work and found a position at a bakery, which I love and am still working there. GFH further helped me by offering me an apartment at Camfield Corner apartments.

The past 2 years I have worked so hard to stabilize my children, who are doing well in school, playing sports and healing. My oldest recently graduated from high school and is continuing her education at AIMS Community College. We recently received a permanent housing voucher, which means our family will have housing forever.

Thank you so much, Megan. Tears are just flowing down my cheeks; you guys have been so amazing to my family and me. We are so grateful for everything you guys have done for us. Thank you Thank you from the bottom of our hearts."
