The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded Urban Peak Denver $700,000 on September 30, 2025, under the Basic Center Program (CFDA 93.623) to provide emergency shelter and counseling services to runaway and homeless youth under age 18 in Colorado through September 29, 2028.

Urban Peak Denver operates a Basic Center facility in Denver that delivers up to 21 days of emergency shelter, food, clothing, counseling, and health care referrals to youth who have left home without parental permission, been forced to leave home, or lack safe alternative living arrangements. The program seeks to reunite young people with their families whenever feasible or to locate appropriate alternative placements, preventing youth entry into law enforcement, child welfare, mental health, or juvenile justice systems. The funding supports the organization's community-based operations to meet immediate needs of runaway and homeless youth and their families.
