Our system of support reflects a continuum of care that addresses not only basic needs such as food and shelter, but job counseling, mental health support, substance abuse treatment, and fosters independence/self-reliance through opportunities for productive reintegration into society.
The system of support includes the GOALS program as well as Reintegration and Transportation.

During a regular business meeting Tuesday, April 23, the Board of Douglas County Commissioners entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement with the City of Aurora to help fund the Aurora Regional Navigation Campus to support those experiencing homelessness or housing instability. The County agreed to contribute $1.125 million of its American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding.
The new Aurora Regional Navigation Campus, located at 15550 E. 40th Ave in Aurora, will provide a variety of services for people experiencing homelessness such as transitional housing, employment services, workforce development, daytime shelter, emergency shelter, medical clinics, addiction counseling, mental health services, medical respite beds, housing navigation, case management and meals. The campus will accommodate service animals and pets.
As a partner, Douglas County will have access to the campus for qualifying individuals. The agreement also includes five beds assigned for Douglas County use. Eligible individuals will be referred by the Homeless Engagement Assistance and Resource Assistance Team (HEART).
