Celebrating Our Impact!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our second annual Celebration of Impact at The Lyric! It was a wonderful evening filled with meaningful conversations, reflections on the past year, and excitement for what lies ahead.

We are grateful for the continued support of our Northern Colorado community and the opportunity to celebrate another year of partnership, progress, and impact with Fort Collins Rescue Mission.

Today is World Homeless Day❤️

For 24 hours, we joined missions across Citygate Network for Conversations on a Bench to share stories, build connections and have honest conversations about homelessness.

From community leaders, people with lived experience, board members, staff, and more, these conversations reminded us that addressing homelessness takes all of us. It starts with listening, learning from one another and working together toward solutions that help our neighbors find stability, hope and a place to call home.

As Dennis, our President/CEO shared:

“The conversations don’t stop here. The conversations are only the beginning of more relationships, more collaboration and more opportunities to work to bring an end to homelessness, one life at a time.”

The livestream may be over, but the work continues here in Northern Colorado and beyond. Thank you to everyone who shared their stories and to everyone who continues to stand alongside our neighbors experiencing homelessness.❤️

A lot can change in a year!

Our Executive Director, Seth Forwood, sat down with Representative Andrew Boesenecker for a conversation outside our Homeless Resolution Center last week—just as they did one year ago.

And this is just the beginning of the conversations we’ll be having this October. 🪑

This Oct. 8–9, we’ll be joining a nationwide event, Conversations on a Bench, which brings people together for honest conversations about homelessness, community and hope.❤️

Stay tuned for more!

🏗️ Celebrating another week of construction progress!

Did you know?

The Homeless Resolution Center will offer recovery services through the new Pathways of Life Recovery Services, LLC (PLRS). This will improve the quality of care we provide—more licensed staff, stronger clinical oversight and the ability to integrate counseling services more fully into our services.

A special thank you to the Larimer County Behavioral Health Services Department 2026 Impact Fund! This funding will allow services like PLRS to provide behavioral health and substance-use care to those utilizing our recovery services who have little or no income and who are facing substance-use disorders and/or mental illness in Larimer County.

We are grateful for the support that makes this important work possible!❤️

Hard Hat Tours continue to create meaningful conversations and excitement as we get closer to opening our new building!

We are incredibly grateful for the groups that have taken the time to visit the site, see the transformation firsthand, and learn more about the impact this new space will have on our community.

Recently, we were excited to welcome:

• Denver Rescue Mission Young Professionals
• Larimer County Department of Health and Environment
• Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka
• Our amazing volunteers, who had the opportunity to pose in front of the new volunteer entrance that we cannot wait to welcome them through soon!

Thank you to everyone who has joined us for a Hard Hat Tour and supported the vision for this building.

Another week of construction!
Roofing, floor polishing, painting, and concrete work are all underway, and the building is coming together more every day.
With each new milestone, we’re getting closer to opening our new home base and providing more resources, dignity, and shelter to our community than ever before.

❓When a sudden and unexpected hardship comes, who do you turn to for support?

For many families in our community, a lack of support can put them at risk of homelessness.

That’s where Fort Collins Rescue Mission’s Prevention program steps in.

After a death in the family, “S” and her children suddenly had to leave the home they shared with their grandparents. As a single mom, "S" was struggling to balance starting a new job, getting her children settled into a new school and keeping up with rent.

When her children’s school connected her with FCRM, timely financial and case management support helped their family remain housed. Today, they are still thriving.❤️

This is why prevention matters.

One year later, our Mission is still strong.❤️

It has been one year since a fire caused extensive damage to our Fort Collins Rescue Mission building on Jefferson Street. This past year has brought tremendous change for our guests, staff, volunteers, and donors. As Seth Forwood, Executive Director of Northern Colorado, shared just days after the fire, one thing has remained true:

“Even though our building is damaged, our Mission is not damaged.”

Now, we’re looking ahead with hope and excitement. As we prepare for our new home base at the Homeless Resolution Center come early 2027, we’re grateful for everyone who has helped us get here.

Here’s a look at the progress—and a glimpse of what’s ahead.⤵️

Thank you for standing with us through it all.❤️
