INSPIRED IMPACT :: Cindy Bell | HomeAid Colorado

Cindy Bell is the Executive Director of HomeAid Colorado whose mission is to build new lives for Colorado’s homeless through housing development and community outreach.

Housing Development Program: We are able to build housing facilities for reputable nonprofit organizations who provide housing and programming to the homeless, by leveraging our relationships within the homebuilding industry to garner in-kind donations of labor and materials. This collaboration allows nonprofit care providers to focus their energy and resources on providing direct service that help residents move toward self-sufficiency, such as education, job skills training and emotional support.

Community Outreach Program: Similar to our homeless housing development model, we collaborate with community partners and local nonprofit organizations focused on alleviating poverty and ending homelessness to relieve the burden on shelters in offering much-needed essential supplies to the families they serve.
