HomewardBound of the Grand Valley is dedicated to eliminating the unwanted condition of homelessness in the Grand Valley, and we can’t stop until every unhoused person has a path home.
More than 1,400 men, women, and children received services at HomewardBound in 2023. With the addition of the new Unhoused Resource Center in January 2024, HomewardBound is on track to serve more individuals experiencing homelessness now than ever before.
While we are focused on providing the vital needs of food and shelter to our community, we are also dedicated to the work of building a way for people in Western Colorado and Eastern Utah to find a path home.

“It can be challenging to find yourself in a place of needing help, and you can feel despair. Honestly, the people at HomewardBound and the resources they can connect you to can be mind-boggling. I now stay at Pathways Village Apartments and I am so eternally grateful to everyone at HomewardBound. I am excited about my future and so are my sons.”
