Big Picture Impact

Reducing adult homelessness in Aurora, CO by providing an effective ecosystem of wrap around services directly from Support Coaches and indirectly via referrals to quality nonprofit partner services.

We aspire to be the choice for a uniquely supportive transition from homelessness to long-term sustainability. Many services will be provided onsite and will be the appropriate match for the person who has the motivation to create a new trajectory for their life off the streets. A successful transition is a Community Member who has safe housing while maintaining steady employment, developing a career path, and actively working a personal plan of recovery toward self-sufficiency.

Who We Are

We are a passionate team who believe homelessness should not define the future of adults living on the streets, but instead informs their next decision to create a different path. This path begins with the choice to change their mindset, focus on recovery and resilience.

We are committed to supporting a person for as long as it takes to achieve the highest possible level of self-sufficiency.

Our Board of Directors and staff have direct personal experience with addiction recovery, homelessness, and supporting individuals in discovering new pathways to maintain momentum in improving their lives.

We believe in the perseverance, resilience, and capacity of the human spirit to overcome any challenge. This is possible when there is a community of support who will always believe in the potential for life-long fulfillment of joy and hope.

What I hope for most is that every guest who walks through our doors feels more human by the time they leave. That they feel seen, heard, and valued — not just as someone in crisis, but as someone with potential and purpose.
