HOPE Host Home Program​
Community Transitional Housing
The HOPE Host Home program connects compassionate community members who have extra space with migrant individuals or families in need of transitional housing for up to 90 days. Providing hosts with a stipend for financial support & dedicated case management for guests, the program ensures a safe and supportive environment for asylum seekers as they navigate life in America. Cultivating cultural connections, providing wrap-around services and resource navigation, this program facilitates integration and belonging for new migrants in a transformative journey toward fulfilling the American dream.
​
To register as a potential Host or Guest please dial 211 and Mile High United Way's resource navigators will conduct a 15 minute intake for our HOPE Host Home Program.
​
*With funding support, our Host Home program can be adapted to wide variety of populations in need of transitional housing including response to people struggling with recent job loss, veterans, people seeking local medical treatment, adults aged-out of foster care, & victims of natural disasters like floods and wildfires.
Pathways to HOPE Sessions
​
Pro Se Asylum & EAD Support
Hope Has No Borders provides monthly asylum support sessions in Spanish throughout Metro Denver. While we do not offer legal advice, we assist individuals in completing their pro se asylum applications using technology for translation and form completion. Spanish-speaking volunteers are available to support participants through the process. We believe no one should be denied the opportunity to file for asylum due to the cost of hired legal aid. At our sessions, we request a $25 fee per application to offset our costs for printing and postage. We ensure that applications are correctly mailed to all locations and provide follow-up support, including guidance on address updates & information on future work authorization requests. Private, bilingual EAD support sessions are offered upon referral.
We are actively seeking partnerships with additional organizations and churches to host these life-changing sessions. We are looking for partners who can provide space, coffee, snacks, printing support, postage, and a willingness to assist those in need. Together, we can make a meaningful impact on the lives of asylum seekers in our community.
HOPE Community Services
Community Service Partnerships
Hope Has No Borders is dedicated to empowering newly arrived migrants in Colorado through community service projects. This program not only provides donation-based gifts as a token of appreciation for volunteerism, but also offers valuable real-life experience, education around cultural expectations, and enhances resumes and work readiness. By fostering local partnerships, we connect migrants with renowned organizations, like WeeCycle, The Jeffco Action Center, & Joyful Journeys, who are seeking volunteers. These partnerships facilitate cultural integration and contribution to a stronger, more vibrant community for all.

Are you an organization in need of Spanish speaking volunteers? We would love to hear from you!
Crisis to HOPE Fund
Emergency Stabilization Fund
Hope Has No Borders developed the Crisis to HOPE Fund to provide one-time, immediate, and urgent financial assistance to individuals facing critical needs that cannot be met by other organizations or social connections. The focus of these funds is to allow a flexible and immediate response to individuals in order for them to maintain stability in essential areas of life such as work, shelter, medical care, and transportation. If applicable, up to 6 hours of dedicated case management support will be approved along with award.
The Crisis to HOPE Fund (CHF) provides essential support, assisting individuals who are confronted with sudden, critical financial challenges in key aspects of life. The CHF program is modeled after the incredible impact of local grassroots support efforts- which proved that individualized, responsive, and preventative work can infuse HOPE in times of crisis.

Volunteer
Our interconnected programs work seamlessly to support asylum seekers through each stage of their journey. For example, imagine a family living on the street who reaches out through 211 for help. They are matched with a host through our 90-day Host Home program, providing them a safe, stable environment in which they can plan their next steps. During this time, they are also signed up for our next Asylum Support Session, beginning their path toward legal status and work authorization. In addition to immediate shelter, they receive resources like food, transportation assistance, and connections to medical care and local services. By the end of their stay, they’ve saved enough to secure an apartment of their own, and the relationship we’ve built allows us to continue supporting them.
A few months later, this family encounters an unexpected medical bill that jeopardizes their ability to make rent. Our Crisis to HOPE Fund helps bridge this gap, covering part of the expense to ensure they remain housed. After this assistance, we enroll them in our Community Service Partnership program, enabling them to give back to the community while stabilizing financially. They volunteer for up to five shifts, receiving a financial thank-you after each, which helps them make ends meet and provides them with a local reference for their resume. Finally, when their 150 days asylum clock is complete we meet with them to help each family member apply for their work authorization, a vital step to achieving integration, independence, and stability as an asylum seeker in America.
