Mile-high hope

Special Issue | Homeless families have a place to live, learn, and grow | Alisa Harris

JOSHUA STATION

A man in faded jeans and a tattered shirt shuffles down a ragged Denver sidewalk, pushing a shopping cart brimming with plastic bags. On one side is a junkyard strewn with the remains of gutted cars. On the other is a motel building, neatly painted cream and red, with a sign that says "Joshua Station." The building houses families once homeless but now moving toward stability, independence, and hope.

Joshua Station, a program of Denver-based Mile High Ministries, provides a transitional home for homeless families, helping them develop the skills and self-sufficiency needed to secure stable housing. Joshua Station requires counseling and community involvement, helps families make goals for their future, and educates families in life skills like budgeting and parenting. The station is committed to extending grace and mercy while holding families accountable for behavior.
