Veterans struggling to find or keep a roof over their heads now have additional resources thanks to a grant awarded to Denver Options by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The grant funding allows Denver Options to provide outreach, emergency assistance and case management resources to over 500 homeless or at-risk veterans and their families throughout the state of Colorado.

Supportive Services

Our statewide program provides a wide range of supportive services designed to promote housing stability and alleviate chronic homelessness. Services include assistance with:

  • Finding temporary shelter and permanent housing
  • Obtaining VA and other public benefits
  • Emergency financial and food needs
  • Health care services
  • Legal and financial planning services
  • Employment services

Program Eligibility

U.S. military veterans who have served at least one day of active duty or a family in which the head of household or the spouse is a veteran, who are considered very low income, and who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless are generally considered eligible. Additionally, veterans must not have been dishonorably discharged. Case managers will meet with veterans and their families around the state to determine eligibility and provide services.

Income Limits for Eligibility

To be eligible for the program, veterans' families must be considered "very low income". Income limits for eligibility are determined based on family size and metro area or county of residence.

Denver Options’ Expertise

Denver Options is a nonprofit organization with 20 years of case management experience that serves children and adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities in Denver County, as well as adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI) in Colorado. In 2008, Denver Options began working with soldiers and veterans with TBI and their families in Colorado through the creation of the Operation TBI Freedom program.

The VA award has allowed Denver Options to expand its services and reach to even more veterans throughout the state. Denver Options and its programs already have offices in Denver and Colorado Springs and will be expanding to additional offices in Grand Junction and Alamosa to meet the needs of veterans across the state.
