"I want people to know that if I can do it, you can, too.”

Twenty years ago, Angela was a single mother without a home for herself and her three small children. Today, she's a Denver Human Services employee with a passion for helping people just like she was helped.

Food, Cash, and Medical Assistance

Whether you need financial assistance to get back on your feet, help with grocery bills, or support finding health insurance, we’re here to help you stay safe and well and get where you want to be.

Denver Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP)

We are here to support you. This page has information about how to apply for child care assistance. You can also learn about qualified child care programs in and around Denver.

Child Support

Every child deserves emotional, medical, and financial support from both their parents. We help ensure children receive the support they need to be safe and well, even though they may not live with both parents.

Job Resources (SNAP to Success / Job Training)

If you are looking for support in finding a new job or furthering your education, we have tools, resources, and community connections for you.

Shelter and Housing

Everyone deserves a safe, comfortable place to sleep and rest. We’re committed to preventing and ending homelessness by connecting those without shelter to resources, support, and services to help them regain stability and improve well-being.

Additional Assistance

In addition to connecting you to food, cash, and medical insurance benefits, we help connect adults, seniors, families, veterans, and people with disabilities to healthy living and emergency assistance resources.
