Our mission is to help people return to independent living and be self-sufficient.
The HWH model is partner based and encompasses housing, mental health services, workforce training and employment. This supportive structure and services helps people stabilize, develop a support network, become trained, gain experience, get a job, secure independent housing and ultimately become self-sufficient.
At Housed, Working and Healthy, we have many classes of students working together. From graduates now in the apprentice program, to a new cohort just getting started on their new future. They all have a common goal – learning new skills which will help them get employment.
We have a commercial kitchen, the Ft Logan Eatery, and run groups of students through the kitchen for 2 months of hands-on learning. After successful completion of the curriculum the students enter our 4 month internship which we also run onsite. At the end of the 6 month training period, we facilitate them getting employment in the community, ideally at one of our business partners. Continued housing and support are provided for the next 6 months to help ensure they keep their jobs.
