Lighthouse is more than just a sober living home; we are a lifeline for individuals battling addiction. Our mission goes beyond sobriety—it's about rebuilding lives from the ground up. Your support provides the essentials—shelter, utilities, and community—restoring dignity and stability.

In 2025, Lighthouse is expanding our reach by opening a women’s supportive recovery home, with a goal to welcome residents this November. This Christ-centered home will offer safety, structure, and hope for women seeking lasting recovery.

This year, our annual Recovery Run of the Rockies 5K was dedicated to helping open this new home—and from Nov 1 to Dec 9, all Colorado Gives donations will go directly toward its startup, staffing, and program costs.

Together, we can open doors for women in recovery and continue bringing hope across Northern Colorado.


From Lighthouse Participants...

The Lighthouse has changed my life. When I came to the program I was broken and lost. Through their phase system I have found myself and learned to help others. This program helps men with addiction issues through the word of God.    Lighthouse Participant

They have done everything possible for me, to save my life and help me to succeed! I am so very grateful to God for the love and support they give to the men. They are very very much needed, especially in today's society. I LOVE AND THANK THEM ALL!!!! Lighthouse Participant

Lighthouse Participant: The lighthouse and their staff open a door to men who have very little options coming from difficult transitions in life, as well as providing a foundation where they can be supported, guided, and be held accountable to becoming a self-sufficient and stable member of society again. The home program is simple, organized, and there is never a shortage of amazing people to speak with about concerns, questions, and guidance in all areas. The lighthouse for me, was definitely nothing short of a miracle to battle homelessness and addiction. I am a flourishing man and sober 5 years now in thanks to the Lighthouse and their staff. Lighthouse Participant

Lighthouse Participant: They are doing a great job in caring for men seeking to break the cycle of addiction. It is affordable and it is a safe and supportive environment. I would love to see them receive sizable donations so they can continue to improve the facilities and all aspects of the program. Lighthouse Participant








Giving Activity

Mission

Lighthouse empowers individuals to overcome addiction and rebuild their lives by providing safe, affordable housing, a supportive community, and the tools for lifelong recovery.

Background Statement

Lighthouse was founded in October 2010 and is the oldest and largest recovery residence in Northern Colorado. Since its inception, Lighthouse has expanded to include four graduate houses in addition to the main location, providing a total of four houses with a capacity of 54 beds.

Additionally, our dream to expand our outreach to women is finally being realized! This year, we have found a location for our very first women's supportive recovery home in Fort Collins. Our staff and volunteers have been working tirelessly to furnish the house and hand-tailor a new program designed specifically for women. With a goal to open doors this November of 2025, our new 8-bed women's recovery home will receive applicants from all over Northern Colorado. This home is exclusively for women, meeting a crucial need for those recovering from addiction in our area.

To date, Lighthouse has supported over 1,600 individuals on their recovery journey from substance use disorder, with more than 80% of participants successfully transitioning to stable, permanent sober housing. We are so excited to begin offering this same service for women, and to raise support in our community for women in need of recovery support and affordable housing.
