The Matthews House is more than a nonprofit organization; we’re a organization committed to serve the youth and families of our community facing challenges such as homelessness, substance abuse, education support, parenting transitions, and more. We are here to guide you through life’s toughest moments and help you build a bright future.
From parent classes and mentorship to job training and housing assistance, our programs are designed to address the diverse needs of our community members at every stage of life – providing guidance for families and youth/young adults.
Our welcoming facilities provide a haven where individuals can find solace, support, and resources to navigate their journey toward stability and self-sufficiency.
We firmly believe that cultivating a vibrant community for our participants empowers them to forge lives rich with unwavering support and boundless opportunities; this is essential for people of all ages, especially young adults who are entering adulthood with little to no support.
When my husband left us, he not only abandoned our family but also squandered all our savings on gambling. I was devastated, but I knew I had to provide a stable life for my young son. The Matthews House offered the resources and assistance we needed during our toughest times. Today, I am proud to share that I have earned my real estate license and secured a well-paying job. This journey has taught me that hard work and determination can overcome any obstacle. I am incredibly grateful for the support from Matthews House and excited for what the future holds for us!
After experiencing severe abuse from my parents, my grandmother took custody of me when I was a year old. Despite the trauma, I have thrived under her care. Recently, I received a Making Dreams Come True award. My short-term wish to meet my favorite YouTube influencer, #MoreJStu, came true when he surprised me at the awards gala and featured me in one of his videos. I also visited his studio in Colorado Springs. My long-term wish is to design and build a home for a family in need. I received drafting supplies and connections to architectural firms to help make this dream a reality. I’m living proof that dreams really do come true!
I am proud to say I recently graduated from high school. The Matthews House helped me to overcome many challenges, and I found a foster home that loves and encourages me to be the best version of myself. I’m attending firefighting school and taking college classes at AIMS to further my career aspirations this fall. I’m incredibly thankful to The Matthews House for their support throughout my journey!
Whether you’re in need of assistance, looking to volunteer, or seeking to make a difference in the lives of others, we invite you to become part of The Matthews House. Together, we can build a stronger, more resilient community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Empowering youth and families through connection, self-efficacy and independence.
