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.

Program Impact
Here is a snapshot of the cumulative impact that THR grantees made in the first quarter of grants in operation (October to December 2023).
- Households served: 2,827
- Unique individuals served: 3,226
- Unique individuals housed (at the time of program exit): 198
- Connection to care services provided: 4,056
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.”
- “[Name redacted] was housed for the first time in over 10 years because of our program. He was only in our program for approximately 2-3 months total. I offered warm introductions with our 2 alumni peers to encourage connections during this transition.”
- “[Name redacted] has made great strides in sobriety and has begun working at GoodWill since living at [location redacted]. She recently won an award at work for being the best employee in her department. She said that support from various staff members has helped her reach these recovery goals. She also credited having a safe environment where she could sleep. She expressed optimism about her work creating a pathway towards eventual housing.”
- “An individual who had been chronically homeless for 15 years and who suffered from MS was successfully placed into a nursing home through care navigation services provided through a team of La Puente staff which included both of the newly created positions funded by this grant.”
