Help Someone Find Their Next Step Forward
At Movement 5280, we believe everyone deserves to be seen, valued, and given the opportunity to build a brighter future.
We are a faith-based nonprofit serving youth and adults facing homelessness, hardship, and the effects of trauma. We provide practical help, meaningful relationships, and opportunities for people to move toward greater stability and independence.
For someone facing an uncertain day, a warm meal, a hot shower, or a welcoming place to belong can be the beginning of something bigger.
Meeting Needs. Building Relationships. Restoring Hope.
At Movement 5280, people can find support for immediate needs and encouragement for the road ahead. Our community offers:
We take time to build relationships, learn people’s strengths, and encourage their next steps. We serve with compassion and recognize the dignity of every person.
Why Your Gift Matters
Your generosity helps meet an immediate need while making ongoing support possible.
A meal offers nourishment and a chance to connect. A shower provides comfort and dignity. A life skills class helps someone build confidence and practical abilities. Consistent encouragement can help a person keep moving forward when progress feels difficult.
Your Colorado Gives donation helps keep these resources available and our doors open. It supports the daily work behind every meal, every welcoming conversation, and every opportunity to begin again.
Give Hope. Help Build a Brighter Future.
When you give to Movement 5280, you help create a community where people are welcomed, supported, and encouraged to take their next step.
Please give today through Colorado Gives. Together, we can help more people find practical support, meaningful connection, and hope for what comes next.
Movement 5280 has a mission to provide a "family of support" to homeless youth and young adults, many who have aged out of foster care, and other at-risk young and older adults as they transition to adulthood, and recover from trauma and life on the streets.
Movement 5280 was launched in 2010 with programs and services designed to provide a "family of support" for youth and young adults, many of whom have aged out of foster care with no support system to help them navigate the path to adulthood. Movement 5280 works to provide wrap-around services for individuals and families suffering from unsheltered homelessness in the city of Englewood in Arapahoe County. These services include day shelter, hygiene services, clothing, food resources, mental health, workforce training, and transitional employment. Although we operate with a heavy focus on unhoused children and youth, our services are open to any individual facing barriers to stability and shelter. Arapahoe County is part of the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood metropolitan statistical area, which ranks as the 19th most populous metropolitan statistical area in the United States according to 2020 Census data. Arapahoe County is the 2nd most populous county within the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood metropolitan area. As of the 2020 Census, Arapahoe County’s population was 655,070. The City of Englewood, where Movement 5280 is located, is the 4th most populous city in Arapahoe County and is located immediately south of Denver. According to recent data collected in 2021, 12.1% of Englewood’s population lived below the poverty level, far exceeding the 9.7% of Colorado residents that live below the poverty level. In 2022 Movement 5280 served 1400 unduplicated individuals of all ages through its primary programs and services for unhoused and low-income individuals. As needs continue to rise in the community, Movement 5280 anticipates serving 1600 unhoused and at-risk individuals in 23-24 as it continues to expand to meet emerging critical needs. To be fully prepared, Movement 5280 recognizes the need to collaborate with additional service providers, train and engage the current staff, volunteers, and participants, while increasing the potential for individualized housing for our service population. Through these measures, Movement 5280 is confident in the desired impact to be delivered in the fiscal year of 2024.
We have three primary focuses at Movement 5280: Survive, Thrive and Revive. Survive: We are a safe place where anyone can come to rest, eat a hot meal, pick out clothes from our clothing bank and take a shower. Personal navigators work one on one with individuals to get their id's and birth certificates. Thrive: Movement 5280 has on-site counseling and "Expressions of Art Therapy". Movement 5280 encourages young adults to be a part of our "incentivized" Job Readiness program specifically where young adults can have on the job training as well as life skills training. Revive: We offer a weekly addiction recovery group and a weekly bible study and Christian church service
