Every Dollar Makes A Difference
To Support Our Greeley Community
A widowed father and his young son living in a hotel could not afford permanent housing.
Through the City’s Homeless Solutions Department, our Outreach Team was put in touch with the family, building trust and a relationship over several months. Despite some hesitation to accept help, they ultimately agreed to be enrolled in the City’s Rapid Rehousing Program. And this July, the family moved into stable housing.
After moving in, the father said, “I haven’t been this hopeful in a long time. This program has been life-changing and life- saving for us.”
Average Move-In Costs:
- Security Deposit: $2,000 - $2,500 (double deposit often required by landlords)
- Furniture Costs: $800 to get individuals/families started with living essentials
- Moving Vehicle: $35,000 for the City to purchase and maintain a small/mid-size SUV
