Samaritan House Shelter - Denver

About

Catholic Charities provides hope to families and individuals experiencing homelessness by providing safety, shelter, clothing, food and more to help them rebuild their lives and restore their dignity. Our approach of mercy and compassion encourages trusted relationships to form, and wounds caused by trauma to heal.

Samaritan House provides short and long-term shelter to men, women, and children facing homelessness. Residents who qualify for our 120-day Levels Program are matched with a case manager who helps them commit to and navigate a goal-oriented plan to secure stable income and affordable housing.

Most Coloradans know at least a little something about Samaritan House. The first building in the nation, located at 2301 Lawrence St, Denver CO 80205, was built specifically to serve people experiencing homelessness, Samaritan House has been a Denver staple since 1986. Since that time, thousands of people have been served and found safe shelter, nutritious meals and support services at Samaritan House. Today, our focus is primarily on serving women, families and veterans who are experiencing homelessness and food insecurity. The community we serve has evolved; our mission remains the same.
