Transformational Homelessness Response Grant Program
Informed by HB22-1304 and HB22-1377, the Transformational Homelessness Response (THR) grant program aims to ensure everyone in Colorado has a safe and stable place to live and thrive.
In 2023, the Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA), through the Division of Housing (DOH), awarded over $86 million in THR funding to projects across Colorado. These grants will run through September 2026.
The main objective of all THR funded programs is to prevent or end individuals’ homelessness as efficiently and effectively as possible.
Programs funded by the THR grant program will fundamentally shift the landscape of homelessness within the project’s community, region, and the State, by transforming systems, programs, and outcomes while being responsive to the one-time nature of the funding provided.

Grantee Map
Program Impact
Here is a snapshot of the cumulative impact that THR grantees made from the beginning of the program in October 2023.
- Households served: 19,322
- Unique individuals served: 24,303
- Unique individuals housed (at the time of program exit): 6,989
- Connection to care services provided: 27,340
As more THR programs begin their service in 2024, the Division is excited to see these numbers only continue to grow. We also appreciated the opportunity to reflect on the people that make up those numbers, and the diverse stories of impact that were shared:
- “[Name redacted] credits our site with getting her in touch with various resources, allowing her to get her job at Subway, to get food stamps, medically necessary oxygen for her domestic partner, and troubleshooting court dates. She’s very hopeful that they will get housing soon.”
- “In July 2024, a two-parent family with three teenagers and a newborn. They arrived at the Family Hope Center (FHC) on July 6, 2024. With the support of our Case Management team, they successfully transitioned to stable housing, departing the program on August 16, 2024. The parents secured and maintained stable employment, and through careful financial planning, they ensured their ability to sustain housing independently.”
- “The street outreach team connected with a middle-aged couple living in an RV with animals in a local department store parking lot. The team provided the couple with food for the animals and other resources for the couple. They also directly connected with HMIS and Coordinated Entry to receive housing support. The team continues to reach out to the couple, connecting them to other options, including work resources and ongoing support.”
- “[O]ur Eviction Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing THR projects have significantly contributed to reducing homelessness and housing instability for our initial group of clients. We have provided targeted housing support to 35 families and individuals to date, helping them secure and sustain stable housing—20 through Eviction Homelessness Prevention (EHP) and 15 through Rapid Re-Housing (RRH) including 1 currently in Bridge Housing and awaiting an available housing unit.”
