HBGV's vision is to eliminate the unwanted condition of homelessness in the Grand Valley.

La visión de HBGV es eliminar la situación de la falta de vivienda en el Gran Valle. To Donate: please visit our website at https://homewardboundgv.org/donate We currently house 200+ people per night, providing more than 40,000 bed nights for men, women, and children experiencing homelessness each year. Additionally, we offer transitional programs and collaborate with other local organizations to

support families and individuals on their path home. Originally formed in 1998 as the Grand Junction Community Homeless Shelter by a coalition including St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church, The Grand Junction Housing Authority, The Salvation Army and Grand Valley Catholic Outreach in response to a critical need for winter overnight shelter for the homeless in our community. Today, HomewardBound of the Grand Valley continues to provide services that meet the needs of our most vulnerable citizens.
