Keys to Hope

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 — creating the pathway back to stability, belonging, and purpose.

This fully renovated 35-unit former motel on West Colfax is more than a building—it’s a lifeline for unhoused neighbors throughout Jeffco. RecoveryWorks makes healing possible through these programs:

  • 🛏️ Bridge and transitional housing for older adults and veterans exiting homelessness
  • 🌙 Drop-in and overnight recovery supports for individuals navigating substance use and mental health challenges
  • 🩺 Certified medical respite care for unhoused neighbors recovering from illness, injury, or hospitalization

💛 Your Gift Today Will:

  • Provide a hot meal to someone who hasn’t eaten in days
  • Offer hygiene essentials that restore comfort and confidence
  • Deliver a move-in kit with bedding and supplies for a fresh start
  • Protect someone from the cold with winter gear and warmth
  • Furnish a new home for someone rebuilding their life

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 on West Colfax down the street to Mountain View Flats, now home to all RecoveryWorks programming. 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.
