Giving our Warriors a hand-UP. Not a hand-out!
Serving Warriors in the Mile High City
Welcome Home Warriors!
Since our inception in 2019, we have provided a wide variety of specialized services and resources to our injured and homeless military veterans based on their needs in Colorado. Our organization has been actively engaged in assisting injured warriors with essential home repairs and renovations to meet their disability needs with the help of our amazing charity partners and volunteers. When we’re not helping these injured Warriors feel comfortable in their homes again, we’re assisting our most vulnerable homeless warriors get off the streets and helping them secure safe and affordable housing construction training and connection to resources.
We are securing homes that will be specifically set up for Veterans. Our veteran and VA housing provides residential care homes and group homes for both men and women [disabled and non-disabled Veterans]. We work directly with the VA and all veteran service providers, case managers and veteran outreach specialists to ensure that our servicemen and women are provided with quality and safe housing. We provide group home and transitional living – residential care homes for Veterans of the armed forces throughout Denver County, Colorado. Our properties and services are of the highest caliber in our state and local area due to our commitment to safe, affordable, and all-inclusive living environments.

Veteran Mentorship Program
Warrior NOW Mentors
For our Veterans there is nothing like connecting with and relying on a fellow Veteran. Warrior NOW mentor program is connecting Veterans to a network of fellow Veterans who can provide support, advice, or simply a listening ear. Mentors may act as a coach, guide, role model, advocate, recovery support, mental health support, life support, or just simply an ally.
Being a mentor is simply about being there for a fellow Veteran. It is about making sure no Veteran feels alone, in a way that only a fellow Veteran can.
Mentoring is Peer Support, which is a key factor in helping people through crisis. Mentors are also key in assisting with developing necessary navigation and survival skills, adjusting to civilian life, and in improving quality of everyday lives.
Become A Landlord Partner
Our Homeless Warriors are the MOST vulnerable population in the veteran community and are five-times more likely to commit suicide. Public shelters are a great community resource, however many of our veterans have difficulty utilizing them due to issues with PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injuries, and shelter issues like public drug consumption, theft of personal property, serious mentally ill and violent offenders residing in these shelters. We want to work with landlords, property investors and donors to provide the safe and caring environment our Warriors deserve so they may successfully transition with people who love and care about them and support a higher quality of life.
Not only will they have the freedom and relief to search for jobs, we want to add value to their lives again by offering and making readily available different construction and woodworking training through our partners at the Colorado Home Building Academy.
who we are
About us
Houses for Warriors is a tax-exempt 501©(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting our nation’s military veterans who are in need.
It is our honor to serve our Warriors that have sacrificed so much for our country.
FREE CONSTRUCTION TRAINING
Thanks to our partners at the Colorado Home Building Academy our Warriors have access to FREE Construction Boot Camp, OSHA Certifications and receive $200 in tools upon graduation! Once boot camp is complete they have access to additional training in Electrical, Carpentry, Concrete, Construction Management and Estimating. We help our Warriors utilize their Chapter 31 Vocational Retraining Benefits to cover the costs of these additional certifications.

Charity Partners provides the funding we need
All Charity Partners become part of the HFW Family and our Mission, becomes your Mission!
Your contributions directly support our Warrior House
The Warrior House will house up to 25 veterans while they transition off the streets and into permanent housing. The VA takes approximately 8-12 weeks to secure their permanent housing through the Veteran Affairs HUD-VASH
Providing a Safe and Caring Environment
You help us eliminate the shelter from our Warrior’s transition process. Veterans are five times more likely to commit suicide if they are homeless. The shelter is no place for our veterans. In the Warrior House, Veterans have a place to call home while they wait for their HUD-VASH to process.
Helping Warriors Obtain Permanent Housing
Once the VA processes their HUD-VASH and secures housing for our Warriors, we help them move into their new apartment! We organize furniture donations, beds, and all of the things they need to make their new home, their own. Not only do they have a new home, they will have new skills and everything they need to stay on their feet. We offer continued support for 24 months after a successful transition.

"I can't thank you guys enough. Your staff works fast and I am grateful to be in permanent housing finally! I wish I found you months ago!!!"
"The hand-outs weren't working for me. I needed a serious reality check and Andrew had to share some hard truth about my situation. Since meeting Andrew, I've really turned my life around. I have a job, an apartment, benefits, and I can finally see my kids again! I am truly grateful for this opportunity."

Volunteer Home Repairs For Injured Warriors
Delbert Stracener is an Army Veteran who was diagnosed with spinal cancer in 2016. Delbert’s home was in dire need of major home repairs and could not afford the cost to fix his home. With holes in the roof, broken skylights, no accessibility and mold spreading throughout the house, we expanded our services to organize a much needed home renovation with community support and volunteers!
With the help of local business like Valor Roofing and Solar, Velux, CO Clean-Up Services, Kycor Plumbing, Waste Connections Colorado and many more, we provided a $97,000 home renovation in just under 5 weeks with only volunteers!
