2023 has been an exciting year for RecoveryWorks! We would not be able to accomplish all our successes without the support of our board of directors, partners, volunteers, funders, and donors. Thank you for your continued support, leadership, commitment, and vision to address homelessness in the Denver Metro Region. -
Through foundation and donor support, RecoveryWorks expanded our staff by hiring several additional team members which included a development director, additional peer professionals, and an on-site therapist.

Thanks to a partnership with the City of Lakewood and the Department of Local Affairs, RecoveryWorks opened an expanded navigation center for the unhoused at 8000 West Colfax Avenue. We now serve an average of 60-75 individuals every day in our drop-in center. By supporting new and existing partnerships, our navigation center provides a myriad of co-located services to address the health, recovery, rehousing, safety, and social needs of our guests. We thank our partners for their continued support in relation to this vital service in Jefferson County.
- We served 112 medically vulnerable clients at our respite program in 2023 located at 7011 West Colfax Avenue. Now devoted entirely to respite care, our facility has been able to provide even more tailored services for our guests that stay with us after a hospitalization, increasing their chance of recovery and reducing hospital recidivism.
-
RecoveryWorks is hard at work securing an additional facility to expand services to include Bridge housing in 2024.
