The organization’s 53,000-square-foot Stout Street Health Center provides a full range of health care to more than 22,000 people every year. The center provides all services in the same building, so patients can receive primary care, see a dentist, go to the eye clinic and treat mental health and substance use disorders in the same place and often during the same visit.
The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless also regularly collaborates with organizations like Urban Peak, which serves young people experiencing homelessness. The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless will mark its 40th year in 2024 and has an eye on expanding services even further, Alderman said. “It helps us launch new initiatives and purchase new buildings. It helps us build up reserves and have cash on hand to take advantage of opportunities government funding doesn’t allow,” Alderman said.“I hope we can use this new energy and resources to make meaningful change, to really start resolving homelessness in a meaningful way and working to prevent people from falling into the cycle of homelessness,” she said.
