Frequently Asked Questions FAQ Homeward Pikes Peak Colorado Springs

FAQs

What does Homeward Pikes Peak do?

Homeward Pikes Peak creates opportunities for individuals and families to restore dignity through treatment and recovery programs, mental health services by providing housing first. We do this through sober living homes, supportive housing, and street outreach. All of our programs offer case management to set our clients up for success.

How do I get assistance with housing?

All potential clients must complete a VI-SPDAT (housing survey) to be eligible for HUD-funded housing in Colorado Springs. Homeward Pikes Peak works with the Colorado Springs Continuum of Care through the Coordinated Entry System to identify participants who qualify for Permanent Supportive Housing. If Homeward Pikes Peak has a vacancy in one of our Permanent Supportive Housing programs, selection will be made. Contact will be made to the selected participant where further evaluation, intake, and the administration of a voucher will occur.

You may complete a VI-SPDAT at Homeward Pikes Peak on Mondays between 1:00 pm and 3:30 pm. Appointments are not required during these times. You may also visit Westside Cares, the Municipal Courthouse (at 224 E. Kiowa St), or The Place (youth only).
