City of Englewood, Colorado / Tri-Cities Homelessness Action Plan

With the approval of the Tri-Cities Homelessness Action Plan in 2021, Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan have committed to addressing the root causes of homelessness. The group worked with the University of Denver Center for Housing and Homelessness to better understand family and chronic homelessness in the Tri-Cities. Englewood is focused on using data to identify the root causes of homelessness. The report outlines top causes for homelessness, primary barriers to permanent housing and more. Partnerships with local non-profits like Movement 5280 are a key component of this plan. Read more at englewoodco.gov/homelessness.

Although spring is here, Colorado can still face severe winter weather and dangerously cold temperatures. Severe Weather Shelter Network partners with organizations and agencies in the community to provide emergency overnight shelter on life threatening winter nights from October 1 to April 30 for individuals experiencing homelessness.

In 2018 the Tri-Cities Homelessness Policy group was created in partnership with Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan. Homelessness is a challenge that cities in the south metro area face, and we recognized that if we are going to alleviate this issue then we needed to work together.

In 2021, the city councils of Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan approved the Tri-Cities Homelessness Plan of Action. This plan will be implemented over the next three years. The plan provides key research findings as well as strategies designed to reduce the impact of homelessness on those experiencing it as well as the larger community.
