Board of Director Opportunity

WHO WE ARE

Senior Housing Options, Inc. (SHO) is a nonprofit organization passionately dedicated to providing safe, affordable housing and support services for Colorado’s older adults and adults with disabilities. Born out of an urgent need in 1979 to protect vulnerable residents displaced by Denver’s rapid development, SHO has evolved into a trusted leader in senior care and housing.

What began with saving The Olin Hotel Apartments, in Denver’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, has grown into a network of four assisted living residences, five affordable apartment communities and one adult day program across the state, serving over 300 low-income individuals. We partner with government agencies, local nonprofits, and the communities we serve to ensure every resident has a place they can call home.
