Housed Working and Healthy is a skill-building and employment-finding charity for the homeless serving the Denver area. Our program teaches skills necessary to succeed in a professional kitchen environment and assists graduates with finding employment and housing.
Who We Are
HWH is a Denver charity dedicated to improving the lives of the homeless in our home city.
Our Mission
To help people return to independent living and become self-sufficient.
Through training and exposure to a professional cooking environment, we aim to instill in our students knowledgeable confidence in various kitchen positions. The skills and information learned in our program will open doors to high-demand careers and self-sufficient lives.
Why We Do It
Homelessness is a reflection of circumstance, not character. We believe that a supportive environment is essential to building a self-sufficient life, which is what we strive to provide.
What It Means to be a Denver Charity
As a charity that’s based in and serving the city of Denver, being a Denver charity means that we’re helping as close to home as possible. We want our city to thrive in every way, and providing this service to its most disadvantaged citizens lets us do that.
