Programs

2 programs

In 2023, we launched a new program to expand the stabilizing services we offer to the community. Housing is a human right, and the loss of a home can lead to cycles of poverty that are exceedingly difficult to recover from. We are able to provide mortgage assistance for clients who are behind on payments based on the individual circumstances of each. Our team of caring navigators and lawyers are passionately committed to keeping our clients in their homes.

Legal aid: through ced law, the organization offers legal assistance to renters facing eviction in the state of colorado. Managed separately from the financial assistance and household stability services program, ced law provides legal assistance to coloradans facing eviction or struggling with consumer and housing debt burdens. Depending on client need, attorneys provide advice, limited assistance representation, or full-service legal representation. Ced law also manages legal aid clinics alongside community partners and in courthouses across the state.
