ABOUT

HomeAhead is a member of the Furniture Bank Network of North America. Since 2019 we have furnished homes for close to 1,000 people in Boulder County, helping break the cycle of homelessness in our community.

HomeAhead collects and distributes gently used essential furniture and household items to individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness in Boulder County. Through a cycle of giving and helping, we provide the most vulnerable individuals in society the means to create a true home and start a new life. We strive to transform empty houses into safe and comfortable homes and put the stigma of being homeless in the past.

Some of the agencies that refer clients to HomeAhead include: Boulder Shelter for the Homeless, Mental Health Partners, The Inn Between, HOPE for Longmont, EFAA, Safehouse Progressive Alliance for Nonviolence, TGTHR (formally Attention Homes), and Boulder County Housing and Human Services.
