Children & Families

Strengthening Families, Building Stability

Our children and family programs focus on early intervention, stabilization, and long-term resilience. We support caregivers as they work toward safe housing, reliable childcare, education goals, and stronger support systems—often preventing deeper system involvement before it begins.

With consistent support, she secured housing, enrolled in school, and accessed critical resources for her children. Today, she is building a safe, stable future for her family.
Reunited and Rebuilding

The Landing

A Safe Place to Begin Again

The Landing is Northern Colorado’s first regional youth shelter, offering day services, overnight shelter, and trauma-informed case management for youth ages 15–20 located in Larimer and Weld Counties. Through consistent support, trusted relationships, and immediate access to basic needs, The Landing is helping young people move from crisis toward safety, stability, and opportunity.

Youth served in first year

A Place to Land
On the day The Landing opened, a young man shared, “Guess what? I have a bed tonight.” After months of living in his car, he slept safely indoors—with a meal, a shower, and people who cared about what came next.
