Partners in Housing Gets Its Start!
"A unique first-in Colorado program...helping Anita and others like her with transitional housing and a chance to become self-sufficient again."
In the late 1980s, a group of community leaders began researching local needs, and programs in other communities, supporting families who were experiencing homelessness. Among this group was Bishop Richard Hanifen of the Diocese of Colorado Springs and the Executive Director of Catholic Community Services, Sr Lucille Krippel. Partners in Housing was then started as a program of Catholic Community Services, but quickly was incorporated as a separate, but connected, non-profit in November 1991.
The article below, titled "Homelessness Tackled in New Transitional Housing Venture", announced the start of Partners in Housing. Nearly thirty years later, we continue to provide transitional housing and supportive services to Anita and families like hers giving "new hope and new solutions".
