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.

My hope for our Community Members in Advance is that they find strength, resilience, and unwavering support as they continue their journey towards healing. May they know they are never alone, and that their courage to seek change is a beacon of hope for others. Together, we can build a community where every step forward is celebrated and supported.

Brandon McCallister

Support Coach

As new members join our community at Advance, my greatest hope is that they feel welcomed, understood, and supported from the moment they arrive. I hope they find a safe space where they can be their authentic selves without fear of judgment, and where they can connect with others who share similar experiences. Ultimately, I wish for new members to discover a sense of belonging here at Advance, knowing that they are valued, that their experiences matter, and that we are all here to support one another on this path to recovery.

Justin Smith

Support Coach

My hope for Community Members coming into our program is for them to ask themselves…
What do I want my life to be like? And then truly understand that every choice you make MATTERS and the decisions you make will shape your life FOREVER!!!
