The Grand Junction Housing Authority understands that sometimes an individual or family's needs may be more complex than what housing support alone can address, and that identifying and connecting with available services can be incredibly challenging and time consuming. The following organizations act as hubs for local resources to help streamline that process.
From 211 Colorado's website:
211 Colorado streamlines services and provides one central location where people can get connected to the resources they need. With a database that is updated daily, 211 Colorado can connect you to critical resources simply by dialing a three-digit number. Whether you are searching for a shelter availability, childcare, or rent payment assistance – 211 can connect you to available resources in your community.
Grand Valley Connects connects those in need of support with a Resource Navigator who can help them gain access to resources such as:
- Behavioral Health
- Childcare
- Educational Programs
- Employment Services
- Disability Services
- Family Support
- Food Assistance
- Medical Health and Health Coverage
- Help with Utility Bills
- Veteran Services
Shared transportation systems can save people money, provide options for how to get around the community, and in some cases reduce air pollution emissions. This directory is an ongoing list of all the available transportation options in Mesa County by type.
In collaboration with the Grand Junction Housing Authority and Housing Resources of Western Colorado, and working with local property owners and landlords representing approximately 3000 rental units, the City is proud to launch the pilot of the At Home in GJ Landlord and Tenant Program. As part of the implementation of Grand Junction Housing Strategy 12, the "At Home in GJ" program is designed to be a comprehensive initiative and includes a voluntary rental registry, landlord incentives, and tenant education workshops, all aimed at easing rent burdens and increasing rental market accessibility for residents in Grand Junction. Additionally, it seeks to maintain housing affordability, attract new landlords, and encourage safe and stable housing options.
