This is TeamHWH.
A place to build skills. A community of support. A pathway toward lasting self-sufficiency.
Housed, Working & Healthy helps people experiencing housing instability and unemployment prepare for work and build a more stable future.
Through workforce training, employment preparation and whole-person support, participants gain practical skills, build confidence and move toward sustained employment. Our approach brings training together with mental health support, case management and connections to community resources—because preparing for work means supporting the person, too.
Our culinary training program puts that approach into practice. Students learn in a professional kitchen, develop workplace and teamwork skills, and receive coaching and guidance as they prepare for employment. Support continues beyond training to help participants navigate challenges and sustain their progress.
Opportunity changes lives.
Behind every outcome is someone working toward a different future.
81% of graduates secure employment after completing the program.
67% maintain employment for at least one year.
74% of participants report improved confidence in their ability to succeed.
These milestones reach beyond a paycheck. They can mean greater independence, more stable housing and the confidence to keep moving forward.
More room. More opportunity.
Our new 6,000-square-foot facility in Denver’s Swansea neighborhood doubles the enrollment capacity of our culinary training program, creating room to serve up to 200 people annually.
More people apply than we have had space to welcome. This expansion gives more people who are ready to learn and work the opportunity to begin.
It is also the next step in a larger vision. TeamHWH is working toward acquiring and fully renovating the building to bring additional workforce training programs and expanded student support services together under one roof.
Your generosity helps people move forward.

In our graduates’ words
“Housed Working and Healthy provided me a positive environment, when it seemed like my whole world was falling apart. I was a little worried about joining at first, but I was surprised to gain another family. I’m excited to obtain a prosperous future in the culinary world. May this program continue having a positive impact on the homeless community. ‘Trouble don’t last always’; this program is a perfect example of this statement.”
