Our Extended Stay Program:
All proceeds from Sampling For Hope directly benefit SafeHouse Denver’s Extended Stay Program!
Launched in 2018, our Extended Stay Program is open to current clients who are out of immediate crisis but require additional time to achieve their housing goals. The six-unit apartment building offers families privacy and independence as they work on their self-identified goals and continue to heal from the trauma of abuse.
Our Extended Stay Program serves as a stepping stone to safe, long-term, or permanent housing for survivors of domestic violence and their children. This trauma-informed environment provides clients safe, secure, rent-free, and independent living in fully furnished, two-bedroom/one-bathroom apartments.
The average length of a stay is one to three months, with extensions granted on a case-by-case basis. Like our Shelter, the location of the Extended Stay Program facility is confidential to ensure the safety of residents and their children.
While the Extended Stay Program offers independent living, residents can have regular contact with a Case Manager to support them in achieving their self-determined goals for stability. Services include individual advocacy-based counseling, support groups, and referrals to stability-related resources through our many community partners.
All services offered at our Extended Stay Program are available in English and Spanish.

"SafeHouse really helped me get back on my feet. Thanks for everything. Because of ESP, we have our lives back, and I get to be a good mom again." —Former Extended Stay Program Resident.
"Thank you so much for this safety and experience. I have come so far in 3.5 months thanks to the staff's approach and shelter of the ESP program. And I know that I have learned so much and am more authentic, confident, and hopeful than I have been for years. Many, many thanks in many ways. I am fully alive because of this program and staff."—Former Extended Stay Program Resident.
"Because of SafeHouse, I now feel empowered to live the life I deserve. [My advocate] supported me in finding my voice and empowered me in ways words cannot describe.
