Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Advance, Inc. (The Organization) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization located in Denver, CO with a mission to offer services to Aurora CO adults experiencing homelessness by creating a community that provides all the help required to those willing to work toward self-sufficiency; anyone who wants help gets help. Advance will be a community of inspiring individuals who believe in the innate capacity for change, accepting both potential and brokenness as part of humanity. The individuals served in their Transitional Homes will be referred to as Community Members. The Organization expanded in 2024 to include operating the Aurora Resource Day Center that serves about 65 unhoused adults daily as well as providing emergency cold weather shelter for up to 150 adults per evening. The Aurora City Council also approved Advance to be the sole operator of the Aurora Regional Navigational Campus beginning in late 2025.

  • Transitional Housing: We consistently had our four sober living homes at 90% capacity. We are introducing our Community Members to a few different approaches that research shows have an impact on those with difficult past experiences. For example, we had an instructor teach journaling and creative writing for recovery for people who have experienced trauma. This quote highlights the impact of that particular session:When I feel angry, it's like shaking up a Coke can and watching it explode all over me. Journaling gives me a place to write down these things and get them out, so they dont explode all over me and everyone around me. We also introduced the men to yoga that prompted these comments: Im going to do yoga every morning, anything to help me stay sober. I am stoked, I plan on doing something like this throughout my recovery. We will continue to offer different modalities so that Community Members can discover the most effective practices to support their long-term sobriety.Aurora Day Resource Center and Overnight Emergency Services: Successfully trained staff and implemented a new culture of service to support the unhoused guests. We consistently see about 65 people per day and offer them case management, hygiene products, and emotional support to address their underlining challenges.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
