Furnish a Home & Reduce Waste: Support Families, Veterans, and Seniors in Need

Across Boulder County, people are moving into housing after experiencing homelessness, crisis, or unstable living conditions, but often with nothing to furnish their space. Families with children are sleeping on floors. Veterans entering permanent housing have no beds or basic household items. Seniors on fixed incomes move into small apartments without kitchenware or seating. Single adults transitioning out of shelters often arrive to completely empty rooms.

HomeAhead provides essential home furnishings, beds, and basic needs support to help families, veterans, seniors, and single adults achieve housing stability. As requests rise and safety-net programs shrink, we urgently need support to keep serving every household that calls.

Your donation to the Urgent Needs Fund provides immediate emergency assistance, including:
• Beds and bedding for individuals of all ages
• Dressers, tables, chairs, and lamps
• Kitchen essentials and cookware
• Household items for low-income families, veterans, seniors, and single adults

Impact levels:
• $25 supplies kitchen essentials
• $75 provides a bed, blankets, pillows, and a mattress with frame
• $250 provides basic furnishings, delivered for a household of four

In addition to transforming empty apartments into functional homes, your support helps keep usable furniture out of landfills and circulating back into the community. Every donated bed, dresser, or table that we place with a household reduces waste and extends the life of valuable resources. Donors give items a second life, and families receive what they need to build stability.

This fund supports the full spectrum of our community: families working hard to stay housed, older adults rebuilding stability, veterans restarting their lives, young adults aging out of care, and single adults creating safe, functional homes. Your support provides urgent, tangible help so every person moving into housing can take the next step toward a stable, dignified home while also protecting our environment.
