Greeley Family House meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.

Stated Purpose:
"To provide temporary housing and support services for families experiencing housing instability."

Year, State Incorporated:
1986, CO

Also Known As:
Greeley Transitional House

The Greeley Family House is an application-based 60-day program that provides families with weekly Emergency Shelter Case Management. Case management helps families develop self-sufficiency plans, which includes setting goals for improving their situation. Goals include finding permanent affordable housing and, if unemployed, finding employment. Families are eligible to stay at the House for up to 60 days if they are making progress on these goals.  The House operates under HUDs Housing First” model, a homeless assistance approach that prioritizes providing permanent housing to people experiencing homelessness and serving as a platform from which the families can pursue personal goals and improve their quality of life. The Housing First approach views housing as the foundation for life improvement and enables access to permanent housing without prerequisites or conditions beyond those of a typical renter. Supportive services are offered to support people with housing stability and individual well-being, but participation is not required as services have been found to be more effective when a person chooses to engage.  Families receive weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly visits from the House Stabilization Case Manager who provides on-going support and encouragement, assessment of needs, frequent review of goal setting, referrals, advocacy, and in some cases, direct financial assistance of supplemental rent and security deposits.
