About THE PLACE

THE PLACE is a Colorado Springs–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to preventing and ending youth homelessness by combining street outreach, drop-in services, case management, and long-term supportive housing.

Founded in 2000 (previously operating under Urban Peak Colorado Springs), the organization works across the Pikes Peak region to connect young people with housing, health care, education, employment supports and stable relationships.

In the past 2–3 years THE PLACE has expanded its housing capacity with The Launchpad, a 50-unit permanent supportive housing community for transition-aged youth, and continues to operate outreach and drop-in programs that meet immediate needs while supporting long-term stability.

Notable achievements

Opened The Launchpad (50-unit PSH)

Launched a 50-unit permanent supportive apartment community designed for transition-aged youth to provide stable housing alongside onsite supportive services (opened in 2025).

Secured major financing & tax credits

Assembled public–private funding, Low Income Housing Tax Credits and state/local grants to enable construction of youth-focused permanent supportive housing.

Organizational independence and growth

Transitioned from Urban Peak affiliation to operate as The PLACE (post-2019), expanding regional programming and impact since its founding in 2000.
