About The Gathering Place:
Founded in 1986, The Gathering Place (TGP) supports women, gender-diverse people, and their children in building stable lives through home, health, purpose, and community programs. We are driven by our values of community, safety, inclusivity, empowerment, and hope. We envision a Colorado where all marginalized groups experiencing homelessness and instability have pathways to security.
As a trauma-informed, low-barrier organization, we remove unnecessary or harmful requirements that prevent members of the community from accessing our services when they need them most—from essential services like meals, showers, and laundry to long-term support like housing-focused case management and physical, mental, and sexual health care. Members choose which of our services they want to take advantage of, giving them the autonomy they need to rebuild their lives.
