  • MDHI IS THE METRO DENVER CONTINUUM OF CARE (COC), WHICH IS A REGIONAL SYSTEM THAT COORDINATES SERVICES AND HOUSING FOR PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. THIS WORK INCLUDES STREET OUTREACH, EMERGENCY SHELTER, TRANSITIONAL HOUSING, RAPID REHOUSING, PREVENTION AND DIVERSION AND PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING. MDHI WORKS CLOSELY WITH EACH COUNTY IN OUR CONTINUUM (ADAMS, ARAPAHOE, BOULDER, BROOMFIELD, DENVER, DOUGLAS, AND JEFFERSON), BUILDING A HOMELESS CRISIS RESPONSE SYSTEM AIMED AT GETTING PEOPLE STABLY HOUSED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. THAT'S THE CORE OF WHAT WE BELIEVE - HOUSING IS THE SOLUTION TO HOMELESSNESS. MDHI LEADS THE PROCESS FOR THE ANNUAL HUD COC NOFA APPLICATION. EACH YEAR MDHI CONVENES A SERIES OF MEETINGS FOR STAKEHOLDERS TO IDENTIFY LOCAL SERVICE GAPS AND FUNDING PRIORITIES. IDENTIFIED PRIORITIES ARE USED TO DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE APPLICATION TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT (HUD). SINCES ITS INCEPTION, MDHI HAS BROUGHT IN OVER 100 MILLION IN GRANTS FOR THE DENVER METROPOLITAN AREA. MDHI COORDINATES THE EFFORTS AND COVERAGE ACROSS OUR 7-COUNTY REGION, WITH COORDINATORS FROM EACH AREA AND ADDITIONAL SUPPORTS FROM SERVICE AGENCIES, TO CONDUCT THE ANNUAL NATIONAL POINT IN TIME (PIT) SURVEY. THE POINT IN TIME COUNT IS A SNAPSHOT OF METRO DENVER ON A SINGLE NIGHT THAT HELPS COMMUNITIES UNDERSTAND TRENDS AND RESPOND TO THE NEEDS OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING LITERAL HOMELESSNESS. WHILE HELPING TO DETERMINE THE SCOPE OF HOMELESSNESS, THE PIT RAISES PUBLIC AWARENESS, PROMOTES COLLABORATION ACROSS SEVEN COUNTIES, AND REMINDS THE COMMUNITY THAT EVERYONE COUNTS DURING THE COUNT NIGHT, TRAINED VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF INTERVIEW INDIVIDUALS, YOUTH AND FAMILIES EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS USING A STANDARDIZED SURVEY FORM. COMMUNITY, FAITH-BASED, AND GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS USE THE INFORMATION COLLECTED FROM THE POINT-IN-TIME STUDY TO FORM POLICIES, APPLY FOR SERVICES AND PROGRAMS FUNDING, AND TELL THE STORY OF THOSE EXPERIENCING BOTH SHELTERED AND UNSHELTERED HOMELESSNESS IN OUR COMMUNITY. A TOTAL OF 9,977 PERSONS WERE IDENTIFIED AS HOMELESS IN THE 2024 PIT COUNT FOR METRO DENVER.

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. 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.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Auto-Revocation List

  • Exemption revoked 15 November 2021, reinstated 15 November 2021.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 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.
