Did what I took to get you off the street and with dignity.

Hey Boulder, all the tax money you pay to maintain the one place that homeless people can go be safe at is a corrupted wash with zero oversight! This place arbitrarily bans people just because staff wants to, without any factual reason, in single-digit weather. The housing lottery, a la Shirley Jackson, leaves people freezing outside in single digits. This place has zero concern for their fellow humans refuses to offer even a blanket on the floor. At least they are consistent with their blatant disregard for life, because even the elderly and disabled are subject to being left out in the elements. If you dare to have a job that keeps you from arriving even one minute past 7pm, your punishment is a blanket made out of dryer lint and a 3 hour local bus ticket to nowhere, since the next closest shelters in Longmont and Denver require regional tickets. Homeless people are punished for getting jobs so they can stop being homeless! Management is too cheap to hire kitchen staff and relies solely on volunteers to cook, so serves bagged meals of stale pb&j's and a bag of chips. Even jail bag meals are more substantial and nutritious. Despite being staffed 24/7, the actual housing closes at 8am. The people making the biggest paychecks from housing homeless people wouldn't dare be exposed to the filth that earns them six figures. The majority of the employees work 9-5, when the riffraff homeless are forbidden in the building. So what are the homeless people going to do, complain about their housing? As a person who has stayed in several other shelters in the Front Range, yes I will. Because every single thing that I have just highlighted is exactly the opposite of every single other shelter. The corrupted administration should be put out on the streets in single-digit weather with a lint blanket and absolutely nowhere else to go. But since that's unreasonable, perhaps they should be jailed for embezzling a very profitable nonprofit.

My wife & I stayed in the Day Room together in 2019-2021. It seems that the longer you stay there, the shelter staff begin to show their true colors. They are not "well meaning" IDGAF what these other reviews say. They are a group of untrained, elitist college kids who have no idea what it's like to be homeless. They will put you out in the cold if you dare even slightly challenge their so called authority even if you know well better. If you cry in front of them or get a little upset, they put you out in the elements doesn't matter if it's freezing temperatures. They turn a blind eye & a deaf ear to your problems. If you have any issue with someone in the shelter the best they can do so go up to them & ask "is everything ok?" Doesn't matter if you have a dozen witnesses. If THEY didn't see it, it's "slander." So they absolutely allow bullying unless they themselves see it or it's directed at them (when they are the real bullies). The food WAS great before the pandemic. Nowadays they serve paper bag lunches with a sandwich & a bag of chips. No real nutritional value at all. For breakfast you get an apple & maybe a yogurt. It was truly awful. I am hypoglycemic I need something to eat other than fruit and a yogurt.

They have art therapy group on Tuesdays 🎨
Yes . I have over the years. Not a bad place and there is help there if you want it. Like I tell most what you make of yourself and do for yourself .
You need just yourself, and you need to be there between 5pm and 7pm. An ID might be helpful. The next day they will give you a number to call to maintain services
I have not been to the shelter in years I don't know what's going on you'll have to phone them up and ask them questions I cannot answer this because I have been housed for the last 9 years
There's always people at Central Park and the public library.
It used to be that the services were limited in the summer. That changed 2 years ago. But checking out Coordinated Entry (at Path to Home) on 30th is the way to go
You have to go through coordinated entry just to take a shower
You can call the shelter and leave your number or you can call the cops to help you out.
I have found that they have orientation @ 30th and valmont shelter for the program exeptance. If the weather is bad and or you can't find this place for orientation they can give you a emergency night but won't let you return until you go through the program questions. Make sure you make it there every time you need by 5 to 7 PM to do the lottery drawing. I hope you make it..
At this time, the majority of our volunteer positions are filled. As a result, we may only have substitute opportunities available. All of our holiday (Thanksgiving and Christmas) volunteer shifts have also been filled and we are not accepting applications for volunteers on those days. If you are interested in supporting our Thanksgiving meals, please take a look at our website wish list where you can sign up to bring in a donation.
NO. The only way it will ever end is to shut down the facility for 2 or 3 days, close it up tightly, and pump in the poison gas that can seep into the walls and ceilings where the bedbugs hide.
Twenty percent are sleeping on the floor of four churches in S.E. Boulder filtered out and referred by Coordinated Entry. These people are fed only a small portion of rice, salad and dessert. They provide them with one thin blanket. They do pass out one blanket one toilet there are upwards of 75 individual souls sleep there. The shelter year ends May first. The shelter will no longer serve walk up breakfast to those who have not slept there.
Intill the homeless mofia tells the staff to kick you out.
It's the best one of all
The shelter accepts clothing & winter gear donations, however, for it to be best-distributed, Deacon's Closet (First Presbyterian Church in Boulder) is a better option.
They take married couples. You sleep in different areas but are under the same roof. They take service animals.
Chophouse brewery 9th and pearl in Boulder and first Presbyterian Church is having movies and you may be able to serve at the shelter hanging out gifts serving dinner
Yes
Not sure give them a call they'll help but anything like clothes donation be helpful to deliver at around 4:30 p.m at door
Yes after 5pm
