The Friends of Denver Housing Authority

At Friends of DHA, our mission is to empower low-income families and individuals towards self-sufficiency and independent living. We achieve this through dedicated board leadership and impactful fundraising efforts.

Our vision is to support self-sufficiency programming for residents with two main goals:

• Empower individuals to break free from the cycle of poverty and achieve lasting economic independence.
• Help our senior citizens and individuals with disabilities to thrive comfortably within their homes, maintaining their cherished independence without the need for assisted living.

Friends of DHA is a nonprofit that raises funds to support self-sufficiency programming for the Denver Housing Authority’s (DHA) Resident & Community Connections Department (RCC). The essential funding provided by Friends of DHA helps to sustain a wide variety of current programs and services to residents in and around DHA’s affordable housing communities.

​

Friends of DHA is charged with pursuing new avenues of funding, expanding services to more households both within and outside of DHA’s subsidized housing properties, and creating new opportunities for more people throughout the Denver metro area.
