“This assistance made a huge difference for me and lowered my stress levels to the point where I could sleep at night and stay focused.”

–-Bob, HPI Client

A special thanks to all who stopped by the Larimer County Courthouse on December 19 for some delicious homemade baked goods. All proceeds benefited the Homelessness Prevention Initiative's emergency rental assistance program.

Thanks again to Ella Gifford-Hawkins for preparing these gourmet treats, as well as the Farmer's Table for opening their kitchens for our use.

HPI is pleased to announce that $3,685 was raised from 26 donors for our program of prevention through Colorado Gives Day this year!

Starting at 12am December 6, Giving First began accepting donations on behalf of nonprofits in Colorado like HPI. In 36 hours, over 12 million dollars were donated to charities across Colorado.

Thank you to the FirstBank Incentive Fund for helping these funds go even farther! FirstBank will be matching a portion of contributions made on Colorado Gives Day.

Thank you also to all who invested in HPI on Colorado Gives Day and helped make this year's event the biggest yet!

On December 3 youth from 13 different groups in our community came together to spread awareness about our neighbors in need. They were part of HPI's 6th annual Clothing the Cold, Warming the World Youth Sleep Out.

These youth passed the evening learning about the face of homelessness in northern Colorado, then spent the night sleeping outside in cardboard boxes.

This year saw the Sleep Out's largest turnout, and over $12,000 was raised for homelessness prevention through the efforts of these youth.

Speakers at the vigil included: Sue Beck-Ferkiss, Executive Director of HPI; Sister Mary Alice Murphy, founder of HPI: Randle Loeb, a previously homeless gentleman from Denver; and Chris Gilmore from Greeley UCC.

Thank you to all who attended and supported the supported the cause of homelessness prevention.

In celebration of ten years of service, HPI hosted a Gourmet Soup Supper on October 13. With over 240 attendees, we nearly reached our goal of $20,000 for our rental assistance program!

Thank you to all who attended and who chose to invest in the power of prevention.
