Joshua Station
Helping homeless families build stability
Joshua Station, a former motel located at I-25 and 8th Avenue in West Denver, is a faith-based community that helps people who are homeless or in unstable housing situations make the transition to healthy interdependent living. The program operates under Mile High Ministries.
Joshua Station serves families who, because of unmet basic needs, have not addressed the underlying issues leading to their situation. Joshua Station provides a 60 to 90-day program in which basic needs of food and housing are met and family needs are assessed. Families help prepare community meals and participate in employment training and placement during this phase.
Families who demonstrate growth are invited to participate in the extended phase, which is one year. In addition to the components of the short-term phase, families receive life-skills training, start savings plans for future housing, receive spiritual, emotional and physical health counseling, and are required to volunteer in the surrounding community.
