More about Weld's Way Home

The 50+ Weld’s Way Home collaborative organizations recognized a need for a more focused care model; in 2019,  United Way and North Colorado Health Alliance (NCHA) were identified as those best suited to address it. In 2019-2020, The Weld Trust provided funding to hire two Community Health Workers (CHWs) who connect Weld County’s  most vulnerable residents with housing and healthcare.


With a caseload of 10-15 people each, CHWs work exclusively with Weld County individuals and households experiencing homelessness or at significant risk for becoming homeless, primarily engaging in physical/behavioral health care management and housing navigation/retention services. The definition of services is intentionally broad; the primary goal of the work is a client self-defining what kind of support is needed in order to be successful in achieving their healthcare and housing outcomes and then assisting the program participant in achieving these goals. Another primary motivation for these positions is to provide continued support to empower individuals in self-management without regard to who pays for it. The CHWs work in tandem with an NCHA care manager according to a community treatment plan. The goals of the plan are highly focused on engagement with continued/improved access to health care, reduced morbidity of chronic diseases, reduced substance abuse, support to those with debilitating mental illness, connection to housing resources, and resources and referrals. At the same time that the CHW is focused on these health outcomes, they are helping the client get back into housing.

How We Impact

A couple ended up experiencing homelessness in Greeley after their work opportunity fell through. They connected with a friend in Texas, who had a place for them to live and a construction job for the husband. Staff followed up and confirmed the couple had a stable and safe place to live. A bus ticket was purchased using the HNC Diversion fund. A Community Health Worker met them at the Greeley bus depot, to ensure they boarded safely and on time.
