Our Mission
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
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 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2011 in partnership with the Denver Housing Authority (DHA). We are dedicated to bridging critical funding gaps for programs that empower individuals and families in DHA communities to thrive. Through strong board leadership and strategic fundraising, we support essential programming aimed at breaking the cycle of poverty and fostering long-term independence.
Our funding is focused on programs and initiatives that help low-income individuals and families in five key focus areas: Youth Development, Community Engagement, Digital Literacy, Economic Self-Sufficiency, and Healthy Living. Through these efforts, we create lasting opportunities for growth, security, and self-reliance for those we serve.
