Our 2024-2025 Season Impact: Our goal for 2024-2025 was to support individuals formerly served by Severe Weather Shelter Network (SWSN) and to continue to support clients who qualify for HAAT Force. We saw triple the need for sheltering due to the closure of SWSN and the continuing increase of homelessness in the Denver Metro area. We provided 561 motel vouchers and served 212 unique individuals for 38 total nights of sheltering. Click HERE for our 2024-2025 Severe Weather Season Report.
Our Mission: To aggressively address the needs of people who are unhoused in the South Metro Denver area and provide life-saving assistance in a collaborative response to homelessness.
Our Work: We achieve our mission by:
Providing motel vouchers to families, people with disabilities, pregnant people, people with pets or service animals, older adults, non-gender conforming and transgender adults, and others who are unhoused, on severe weather nights.
Collaborating with community agencies and partners to:
Help individuals find housing and other resources;
Provide follow-up visits and food to our guests for longer motel stays;
Educate the community about homelessness;
Work toward developing a continuum of housing options in the South Metro area.
In the South Metro area, HAAT Force fills a unique and vital gap in services by providing severe weather motel shelter to people who would not be a fit for a congregate setting.
About Homelessness: Homelessness in the South Metro Denver area is a serious growing concern and a life-threatening issue. Since 2010, HAAT Force has provided life-sustaining compassion and assistance to marginalized, disenfranchised and vulnerable people in our community. We contribute to broader solutions that address homelessness.
