Testimonials
"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."
Mission
From surviving to thriving; changing the perception of homelessness.
Background Statement
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.
