šŸ  The Difference You Make

The quiet click of a lock on a sturdy door. 

The comfort of clean sheets, a hot shower and a warm bed after a long day on your feet. 

The peace of knowing you are safe and protected and don't have to sleep with one eye open.

These moments of safety, rest, and dignity are possible because you believe that recovery from homelessness is not only possible—it’s necessary.

Your support of RecoveryWorks at Mountain View Flats empowers Jefferson County neighbors to recover from housing instability and complex health needs — restoring the path back to stability, belonging, and purpose.

This fully renovated 35-room residence on West Colfax is more than a building—it’s a lifeline. You make healing possible through:

  • šŸ›ļø Bridge and transitional housing for older adults and veterans exiting homelessness
  • šŸŒ™ Drop-in and overnight recovery support for individuals navigating substance use and mental health challenges
  • 🩺 Certified medical respite care for unhoused neighbors recovering from illness, injury, or hospitalization

šŸ’› Your Gift Today Will:

  • Offer a safe bed to someone discharged from the hospital with nowhere to go
  • Provide a quiet space for an unhoused neighbor to begin their recovery journey
  • Keep Mountain View Flats running as a beacon of stability on West Colfax

RecoveryWorks in the News:


Mission

RecoveryWorks provides access to opportunities for resources, community and recovery to our unhoused neighbors.

Background Statement

RecoveryWorks opened its doors in 2021 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, responding to an urgent need in the West Metro area. What began as a small, low-barrier drop-in center has grown exponentially to meet rising demand—becoming a cornerstone of Jefferson County’s rehousing system.

In 2023, we transitioned from a modest leased space into Mountain View Flats, where all programming now takes place. This expansion reflects our commitment to filling critical gaps in local services and creating innovative, enduring solutions that turn short-term recovery into long-term stability.
