At HomewardBound of the Grand Valley it is our mission to be unrelenting, audacious, and impatient in the pursuit of our vision to eliminate the unwanted condition of homelessness in our community-- and we can't stop until every unhoused person has a path home.
In 2023-24, an estimated 140 families and more than 800 single adults will stay with HomewardBound at our two shelter locations. Your support will change the lives of these families and individuals experiencing homelessness in Mesa County. You will make it possible for them to find a safe place to sleep, food to eat, and access to the vital supports and services they need to stay safe and ultimately find their own path home.
"Catholic Outreach couldn't help us financially, but they told us about HomewardBound. I felt like my prayers had been answered. The first night we spent in town had been at the river and … It was not safe, I was concerned for my wife. But my instincts told me the shelter would be better. If it wasn't for this safe place and the staff opening their hearts to us, I am not sure what we would have done."
To be unrelenting, audacious, and impatient in the pursuit of our vision to eliminate the unwanted condition of homelessness in the Grand Valley.
The Grand Junction Community Homeless Shelter was formed in 1998 by a coalition including St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, the Grand Junction Housing Authority, the Salvation Army and Grand Valley Catholic Outreach in response to a critical need for winter night shelter for the homeless in our community.
Today, HomewardBound of the Grand Valley operates as an independent non-profit and is the only year-round homeless shelter within a 200-mile radius of Grand Junction. We provide emergency shelter and access to transitional services for up to 270 individuals per night.
