Support housing stability!

The Metro Denver Homeless Initiative (MDHI) was formed in 1994 to coordinate services and housing assistance available throughout the Metro area. MDHI brought more than 80 organizations, including homeless service and housing providers, local and state government agencies, foundations, mental health centers, neighborhood groups, and people with lived experience of homelessness to develop a Continuum of Care (CoC). With support from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and other public and private sources, MDHI has since become a regional leadership body coordinating resources and services, identifying needs, and disseminating evidence-based practices to end homelessness. MDHI honors the dignity of people with lived experiences of homelessness as partners in identifying solutions to homelessness. Through the CoC, MDHI fosters flexible and creative responses to the complexity of homelessness, while using data to address inequity, guide decision-making, allocate resources, and improve accountability throughout the region.
