Mission
SAFEHOUSE DENVER ASSISTS ADULT, CHILDREN, AND YOUTH IN RECLAIMING THEIR RIGHT TO A LIFE FREE FROM DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. THE AGENCY PROVIDES A BROAD SPECTRUM OF CULTURALLY COMPETENT, TRAUMA-INFORMED SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, EMERGENCY SHELTER, AN EXTENDED STAY FACILITY, SAFETY PLANNING, INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING, SUPPORT GROUPS, CASE MANAGEMENT AND ADVOCACY, COURT ACCOMPANIMENT, A 24-HOUR CRISIS AND INFORMATION LINE, AND COMMUNITY EDUCATION/PREVENTION/ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES. SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE NON-RESIDENTIAL COUNSELING AND ADVOCACY CENTER (THE CAC) AS WELL AS THROUGH THE EMERGENCY SHELTER AND EXTENDED STAY FACILITY. SAFEHOUSE DENVER IS COMMITTED TO INCREASING COMMUNITY AWARENESS AND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE INTERVENTION IN, AND PREVENTION OF, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. SAFEHOUSE DENVER HAS A COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT MANAGER ON STAFF TO COORDINATE AND IMPLEMENT ACTIVITIES WHICH ARE DESIGNED TO COMMUNICATE CRITICAL INFORMATION AND RESOURCES TO THE COMMUNITY THROUGH HEALTH FAIRS,

THE RESIDENTIAL SERVICES PROGRAM HELPS SURVIVORS AVOID HOMELESSNESS OR RETURNING TO AN ABUSER THROUGH TWO RESOURCES: THE EMERGENCY SHELTER THAT PROVIDES SAFE, CONFIDENTIAL HOUSING, ADVOCACY-BASED COUNSELING, AND BASIC NEEDS FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN FLEEING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE; AND THE EXTENDED STAY PROGRAM (ESP) FOR SURVIVORS WHO ARE OUT OF IMMEDIATE CRISIS BUT NEED MORE TIME TO ACCESS HOUSING AND RESOURCES. RESIDENTS IN BOTH PROGRAMS HAVE REGULAR CONTACT WITH A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ADVOCATE TO SUPPORT THEM IN ACHIEVING THEIR SELF-DETERMINED GOALS FOR STABILITY. ADVOCATES SUPPORT SURVIVORS IN IMPLEMENTING SAFETY PLANS SO THEY CAN ACCESS EMPLOYMENT, ATTEND SCHOOL, OR USE COMMUNITY RESOURCES. IN ADDITION TO ONE-ON-ONE WORK WITH THEIR ADVOCATES, SURVIVORS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN SUPPORT GROUPS. LAST FISCAL YEAR, THE EMERGENCY SHELTER SERVED 173 ADULTS AND 99 CHILDREN WITH 5,890 NIGHTS OF SHELTER. THE EMERGENCY SHELTER WAS ABLE TO OPERATE AT FULL CAPACITY AGAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE PANDEMIC BEGAN IN MARCH 2020. FOR THE THIRD YEAR IN A ROW, 100% OF RESIDENTS IN OUR EXTENDED STAY PROGRAM SUCCESSFULLY MOVED ONTO STABLE HOUSING CONDITIONS.

THE NON-RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM AT THE CAC SUPPORTS ADULT AND TEEN SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE WHO ARE NOT IN NEED OF EMERGENCY SHELTER OR TEMPORARY HOUSING. SERVICES INCLUDE INDIVIDUAL ADVOCACY-BASED DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COUNSELING, INFORMATION AND REFERRALS, CASE MANAGEMENT, AND SUPPORT GROUPS. CAC CLIENTS CAN RECEIVE SERVICES IN-PERSON OR VIA AN ENCRYPTED VIDEO PLATFORM, GIVING CLIENTS SAFETY AND CONFIDENTIALITY. DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, 2025, 337 ADULT SURVIVORS RECEIVED SUPPORT AS CLIENTS OF THE CAC. AN ADDITIONAL 495 ADULTS WERE REFERRED TO SAFEHOUSE DENVER AND RECEIVED DOMESTIC VIOLENCE EDUCATION, CRISIS INTERVENTION, AND SAFETY PLANNING, ALTHOUGH THEY DID NOT COMPLETE AN INTAKE ASSESSMENT TO BECOME CLIENTS. CAC ADVOCATES FACILITATED 26 SURVIVOR-LED SUPPORT GROUPS. THROUGH THE YOUTH-FOCUSED ADVOCACY AREA OF THE ORGANIZATION, 1,530 YOUTH WERE PROVIDED WITH EDUCATION AND SUPPORT RELATED TO HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS AND EARLY WARNING OF INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE.

SAFEHOUSE DENVER'S SERVICES TO SUPPORT CHILDREN AND YOUTH ARE BASED ON A FAMILY MODEL THAT AIMS TO BUILD RESILIENCE IN CHILDREN AFFECTED BY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. THIS IS DONE THROUGH STRONG PARENT-CHILD BONDS THAT SUPPORT HEALTHY DEVELOPMENT IN CHILDREN AND IMPROVED FAMILY OUTCOMES. THROUGH SAFE EMERGENCY HOUSING, EXTENDED STAY HOUSING, INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY COUNSELING, SUPPORT GROUPS, AND ADVOCACY, SAFEHOUSE DENVER PROVIDES FAMILIES WITH PROGRAMMING THAT INCREASES SELF-SUFFICIENCY AND STRENGTHENS RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN PARENTS, CHILDREN, AND SIBLINGS. AS A RESULT, CHILDREN HAVE DEMONSTRATED IMPROVEMENTS IN PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS AND EXPRESSING EMOTIONS; INCREASED SELF-CONFIDENCE; AND MORE POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS. THE 24/7 CRISIS AND INFORMATION LINE OFFERS CRISIS INTERVENTION AND INFORMATION REFERRAL ASSISTANCE. OVER 2,330 CALLS WERE RECEIVED FROM APRIL 1, 2024, TO MARCH 31, 2025. APPROXIMATELY 1,360 CALLERS WERE REFERRED TO OTHER FACILITIES BECAUSE SAFEHOUSE DENVER WAS NOT ABLE TO SERVE THEM AT THE EMERGENCY SHELTER (DUE TO BEING AT FULL CAPACITY). IN 2023, WE EXPANDED OUR CONNECTION TO THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE AWARENESS AND EDUCATION ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE TO THE GENERAL POPULATION. SAFEHOUSE DENVER ADDED A FULL-TIME COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT MANAGER POSITION TO OUR TEAM TO LEAD THIS PROCESS. FROM APRIL 1, 2024, TO MARCH 31, 2025, SAFEHOUSE DENVER PARTICIPATED IN 22 COMMUNITY EVENTS, INCLUDING CULTURAL EVENTS, NEIGHBORHOOD GATHERINGS, HEALTH FAIRS, AND OTHER EVENTS WITH APPROXIMATELY 13,793 PEOPLE LEARNING ABOUT OUR SERVICES. THROUGH THE COMMUNITY EDUCATION PROGRAM, COMMUNITY PRESENTATIONS WERE PROVIDED TO AREA AGENCIES, CLUBS, COMPANIES, AND SCHOOLS ON THE ISSUE OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND OUR SERVICES. FROM APRIL 1, 2024 TO MARCH 31, 2025, WE HOSTED 146 EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS WITH 2,616 PEOPLE. IN TOTAL, WE REACHED OUT 224% MORE PEOPLE THIS YEAR THAN THE PREVIOUS YEAR'S IN THE COMMUNITY. OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENT: COMMUNITY PROGRAM OFFERING AWARENESS, EDUCATION, AND RESOURCES TO THE COMMUNITY IN A WIDE VARIETY OF SETTINGS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOCAL FESTIVALS, GOVERNMENT ENTITIES, HOSPITALS/MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS, COLLEGES/UNIVERSITIES/TRADE SCHOOLS, NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, CORPORATIONS, ASSOCIATIONS, AND SOCIAL CLUBS.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Other IRS files
Auto-Revocation List
Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.
Publication 78
Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.
These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
