It’s Digital Inclusion Week! 💻

At Friends of DHA, digital inclusion is one of our core focuses because access to technology can open doors to education, employment, essential services, connection and opportunity.

Through partnerships and programs like Denver Public Library (DPL) Digital Navigators and Tech Together, we’re helping DHA residents access technology, build digital skills, and gain the confidence to stay connected in an increasingly digital world.

Digital inclusion is about making sure people have the tools, skills, and support they need to use technology in meaningful ways.

None of it happens without the sponsors who make this event possible. A heartfelt thank you to our Platinum Sponsors: BMS Cat, American Mechanical Services, and Denver Housing Authority. Your continued commitment strengthens everything we do.

We're equally grateful to our Gold Sponsors: KeyBanc Capital Markets, Homecare RN, CHFA, HD Supply, Santulan Architecture, Enterprise, PNC Bank, and Vectra Bank. Your support helped bring this celebration to life.

Nights like this remind us what's possible when a community shows up for each other. Here's to the work ahead and the impact we'll keep building, together.

Delila’s story is what economic self-sufficiency looks like in action.

While raising two daughters, she stayed committed to her goals through the Academies to Work – Jobs Plus Program at Westwood. In December 2025, she earned her Associate of Arts in Criminal Justice from Community College of Denver. With support from her Jobs Plus coordinator, she stepped into a full-time role with the Colorado Department of Corrections and began training this summer. Soon, she’ll serve as a Correctional Officer I at the Denver Women’s Correctional Facility.

This is the impact of investing in opportunity, stability, and long-term success.

Be part of stories like Delila’s at this year's Wall of Fame. Sponsor, donate, or get involved in supporting economic self-sufficiency across our communities.

Healthy living starts with the right support.

Through our partnership with Metro Caring, Denver residents in the Mariposa neighborhood recently completed a six-week Diabetes Self-Management Workshop. Each week, they built real-life skills around nutrition, blood sugar monitoring, movement, stress management, and goal setting. Participants also completed baseline A1C testing, with follow-ups planned to track their progress over time.

It’s a small commitment that can lead to lasting change.

We’re just over a month away from the Wall of Fame on September 10. Join us in supporting programs that help our communities live healthier, stronger lives.

Investing in youth is investing in Denver's future.

Youth development means more than programs. It means giving young people real opportunities to learn, lead, and build confidence in themselves.

This year, that looked like Tech Together, an intergenerational program pairing Denver youth with older adult residents to close the digital divide and learn new skills side by side. These youth gained hands on experience and a chance to give back to their community.

This opportunity was made possible by support from partners like Denver Public Library, the Mayor's Office, the Office of Children's Affairs and AT&T.

This is why Wall of Fame matters. Funds raised go directly toward expanding youth development opportunities across Denver, funding mentorship, skills building, and programs that help young people grow into confident leaders. When you sponsor or donate, you help write the next chapter for a young person in our community.

Help support the next generation at the Wall of Fame! Sponsor, donate, or join us September 10th by visiting the link in our bio.

What a day! On Saturday, June 12th, the Mt. View & Cottages family joined Denver Mayor Mike Johnston for a Walk and Roll along South Federal Blvd, organized by Alejandra Castaneda of Pedestrian Dignity and our own Lisa Smith. The Mayor walked right alongside our residents, listened to their stories, and saw firsthand the cracked sidewalks and busy traffic they deal with every day, including cars that would not stop for walkers crossing at Mississippi and Federal.

We carried this walk in honor of Ms. Olivia, a beloved resident we lost too soon in a traffic accident near South Federal and Louisiana. Her memory is part of why we are pushing so hard for safer streets through the Vision Zero Grant. Thank you to everyone who came together to make this happen. We cannot wait to see these safety changes become real.
