Denver County Homeless Initiative

Douglas County Heart Initiative for the Homeless

On May 11, 2023 the Douglas County Homeless Initiative announced it is the recipient of $1.6 million in state grant funding. The grant will support the ongoing work of Douglas County’s Homeless Engagement Assistance and Response Team (HEART), a co-response team that includes deputies from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and resource navigators to connect those experiencing homelessness with resources.

HEART Navigators are subject matter experts, often with experience in behavioral and mental health or case management. They proactively and directly interact with those experiencing homelessness in a compassionate way. They gather information on needs, assess vulnerability, provide complete case management, and make referrals to appropriate community services.

Partnered with law enforcement when safety is a concern, this community approach helps ensure people experiencing homelessness do not end up in emergency rooms or jail, but rather are directed to community services.

Preliminary Point in Time data from January 2023 indicate the number of people living unsheltered in Douglas County is down 46%.

5520 Homestead Way, Boulder, CO

This ranch-style home in Homestead is open and spacious with its expansive, tile-floored Entry Foyer, vaulted ceilings, and large Living Room/ Dining area combination. The Kitchen and Breakfast Nook continue the feel of spaciousness.  Laundry hookups are in a closet off the Breakfast Nook.

The park-like yard has mature evergreens, aspens, and four rose bushes in the front yard. The rear yard even has two red apple trees, one for pies and the other for applesauce. Relax on the large back deck, where a lower-level deck is hardwired for a hot tub.

For outdoor enthusiasts, the 12-mile walking/biking LoBo (Longmont to Boulder) Trail is only steps away. It’s only about a ten-minute drive to the 700-acre Boulder Reservoir for boating, swimming, sunbathing, water skiing, fishing, picnicking, walking, running, cycling, and wildlife viewing.

Entertaining large groups without feeling cramped is a plus for the Living/Dining area. Guests will appreciate the beauty of the diagonal planked wood walls on each side. The Dining side wall, with its staggered shelving nooks, is terrific for displaying art pieces. Seating in the Living area is around the impressive rock fireplace. This is a bright area having three skylights in the ceiling.

The Kitchen is entirely open to the Living/Dining areas. There is a contemporary feel with stainless steel appliances, Bordeaux-stained lower cabinets, and natural maple upper cabinets. Upper cabinets are complemented with a few open shelves, glass fronts, and a bread bin. The sink area has a handsome quartzite countertop.

The primary bedroom is generous in size and offers wood laminate flooring, a walk-in closet, and a private, updated walk-in shower and water closet. From this bedroom, there is direct access to the rear deck and separately to the hot tub location.

Downstairs one walks into an expanded recreation room with a wet bar and a built-in fish tank. Here you will also find two additional bedrooms and a full bath.

Client Appreciation Party 2022

Our 2022 Client Appreciation Party was a wonderful celebration with a record number of families and individuals attending. We could not have wished for a better turnout with good people, good food, and lots of laughter. Having many new and long-time clients visit us in our home was an honor. We've heard from several people that the pumpkin, apple, and pecan pies were delicious for their Thanksgiving dinners. A special surprise in the goody bags everyone took home from the party was the J. Garland Thurman chocolates. With donations from all who attended, we were able to make a donation to Denver Rescue Mission in the amount of approximately $2,000. Thank you to our sponsors, Colorado Cleanup Services and Solomon Brothers Construction, who helped to make this event possible.

NEW LISTING AT THE PRADO IN DENVER'S GOLDEN TRIANGLE!

The Prado is an iconic 18-story building in the Golden Triangle. The Golden Triangle, aka Civic Center, in bustling Downtown Denver is home to the Colorado State Capitol and multiple museums, including the History Colorado Center and the prestigious Denver Art Museum. Its streets are lined with art galleries, diverse restaurants, brewpubs, and quaint coffee shops. A block away for biking or jogging, you can pick up the Cherry Creek Trail which connects Downtown Denver, Cherry Creek Mall and Cherry Creek State Park. 

This is a coveted high floor corner unit with stunning views of Downtown, the mountains, and Cherry Creek Trail. You can enjoy the Colorado sunshine with two balconies, one off the Dining Area and the other off the Master Suite.

An angled Entry Foyer leads to an open and spacious Living Room, Breakfast Bar, and Dining Area. The extensive wood flooring in these areas and the Kitchen complements the open feel. The Living Room alone has three large sunny windows.

 The Kitchen opens onto the Living Room and Dining Area’s step-up balcony. The Kitchen features contemporary cabinets, quartz tile countertops, and a stainless-steel sink.

 The Master Suite has its own private balcony, a spacious walk-in closet and an ensuite full Bath.

 The separation of the two Bedrooms provides complete privacy. A door from the secondary Bedroom can be closed, thus allowing the attached bath to now serve as a Powder Room.

 A Laundry/Utility closet is located off the Entry Foyer. In the building’s garage, this home has a one car parking space. A large storage cage is a short distance on the same floor as the home.

Client Appreciation Party 2021

A picture containing text, clutteredDescription automatically generatedAnother Record-Breaking Turnout for 2021 Client Appreciation Party!

Once again, we had an amazing number of families show up to our Annual Client Appreciation Party! This year was the largest number of families to attend this event since we started the event in 2015. We wanted to extend our gratitude to our many friends, clients, and vendors that show continued support throughout the years, as well as those who attended the event for the first time this year!

Although we would have loved to have everyone in our home this year, our drive-thru event was just as special to us. It was a beautiful day with temperatures in the 60s, which was way higher than last year’s snow! Our driveway was once again set up with nearly one hundred goodie bags full of extra special items, including many homemade treats by Patti and plenty of gifts from our sponsors.

Additionally, this year’s Client Appreciation Party was the first for my new assistant, Hailee, who started in September. She got to meet all the guests throughout the afternoon and evening, which was a great experience for her. There couldn’t have been a better year for her to join the J. Garland Thurman Group!

Below, we have some photos attached. What a memorable day! Thank you again to all those who stopped by.
