Weld’s Way Home is a county-wide plan for maximizing resources dedicated to serving those who are homeless. The Plan sets forth how many partners serving this population will assess (identify, emergency assessment), assist (emergency housing, stabilization assessment), and assign (transitional and permanent housing options, case management, wraparound services) people who are homeless, with the ultimate goal to return every person to permanent housing.
While housing is the ultimate goal, there are also emergency shelters available: A Woman’s Place, Greeley Family House (formerly Greeley Transitional House), Guadalupe Community Center, the Cold Weather Shelter, and the United Way of Weld County Homeless Shelter at Bonell. Support and case management is provided at these shelters, and also by many other local non-profits – North Colorado Health Alliance, Northern Colorado Veterans Service Center, and North Range Behavioral Health, to name a few.
The City has supported the efforts to end homelessness by participating in the formation of Weld’s Way Home, membership on committees, and with funding. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), CDBG-Coronavirus, and the City’s CARES Act funds have all provided financial support to the drive to end homelessness in our community.
