Community Resource Connection HUB
Elevated Denver’s Community Resource Connection Hub (Hub) supports Westwood community members who are at risk of losing their homes or have recently become unhoused. When this happens, it is often hard to know where to turn for help. The Hub is staffed by individuals from the neighborhood who have experienced similar challenges and who are trained to provide non-judgmental support to connect community members in need with resources. Community members may face housing challenges due to a rent increase, job loss, lack of childcare, medical or financial debt, transportation barriers, and more. A Community Resource Specialist will meet one-on-one with the community member to identify and connect him/her/they to the most appropriate support.
