  • About Us

    Founded more than 30 years ago by a group of citizens who were concerned about the increasing numbers of youth living on Denver’s streets, Urban Peak began as a daytime drop-in center but quickly grew to provide temporary overnight shelter to young people experiencing homelessness.

    In 1998, Urban Peak opened Colorado’s first and only licensed shelter for youth experiencing homelessness. Since then, Urban Peak has expanded the Shelter, acquired three apartment complexes for transitional youth housing and renovated space downtown for the Drop-In Center and Outreach team. In our last fiscal year, Urban Peak served nearly 1,000 different youth experiencing homelessness in the metro region.
