We're officially ONE MONTH away from Off the Street!

This photo shows last year's setup before guests arrived — rows of empty seats waiting to be filled. In just one month, we can't wait to see those seats occupied by community members, supporters, and advocates coming together to make a difference.

🎟️ Get your FREE tickets today: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/offthestreetbreakfast2026/event/offthestreetbreakfast2026/

Every seat filled helps strengthen our mission and the impact we're making together.

Today, we are proud to recognize and celebrate Ent Credit Union (soon to be Wings!) for their extraordinary generosity and commitment to our community.

Ent has joined The PLACE as a Presenting Sponsor of our annual Off the Street Breakfast. We are so grateful to Ent for making this leadership investment in our mission and the people we serve! THANK YOU ENT!

If you didn't know, their support extends far beyond financial contributions—throughout the years, the Ent team and their members have consistently shown up as volunteers, advocates, and partners, dedicating their time and energy to help strengthen our community.

We are deeply grateful for this incredible gift and for the longstanding relationship we share with Ent. Their continued commitment demonstrates the power of community partnership and the impact we can create when organizations come together in service of others.

Thank you, Ent, for your generosity, your volunteer spirit, and your unwavering support. We look forward to helping them unveil their new name, Wings, at next month's breakfast. We are honored to partner with you in making a difference.

✨ Meet the Staff: Welcome Ruth! ✨

We are thrilled to introduce Ruth as part of The PLACE team! After recently making the move from Texas to Colorado, Ruth has already become a valued member of our staff, and we feel incredibly lucky to have her on board.

When asked to describe her approach to case management, Ruth shared:

"One word to describe my approach to case management is compassionate. I see myself as an empathetic person when interacting with others, and compassion puts that quality into action. I strive to be open, understanding, and nonjudgemental when working with clients so I can better understand their experiences and build an approach that meets their unique needs. I enjoy helping clients navigate challenges and also alleviate some of the stress and burdens they carry.

I'm also a big believer in small acts of compassion and kindness having meaningful impacts. Feeling seen, heard, and supported can be the first step towards positive change, and my experience in case management has only strengthened that belief. My clients have faced some of life's most difficult circumstances, and I'm grateful for the trust they place in me by sharing their stories. That trust motivates me to be a consistent source of kindness, respect, and support throughout their journey."

Please join us in welcoming Ruth to Colorado and to The PLACE family!

We are grateful for this community and all those who stand with us in ensuring every young person has a place to call home!

CONGRATS to our four amazing young people who graduated from Diakonia’s Home Builder’s Institute (HBI) Construction Pre-Apprenticeship Certificate Training! 🎉

These four leaders showed incredible commitment, determination, and resilience throughout the program — and they finished strong! We are so proud of the hard work, growth, and perseverance each of them demonstrated along the way.

Programs like this are possible because of the support of our community partners who walk alongside our youth, encourage them, and help create opportunities for success. Your investment in young people truly makes a lasting impact.

Congratulations again to our graduates! Your future is bright and we can’t wait to see what’s next for each of you!

Project Diakonia’s 8-week Home Builders Institute (HBI) Pre-Apprenticeship Certificate Training gives young adults hands-on construction experience, industry-recognized credentials, career readiness support, and exposure to multiple skilled trades. Students build practical skills in construction safety, tools and materials, construction math, employability, and professional communication while also receiving professional mentorship, resume support, mock interviews, and connections to employers and apprenticeship opportunities. More than just job training, the program helps young people build confidence, consistency, and a pathway toward long-term stability and adulthood. Special thanks to our instructors and mentors Jim, Zion, Blake, Alex, and Clint for investing in and walking alongside these students every step of the way!
