Family Tree - GOALS

Generational Opportunities to Achieve Long-term Success

St. Martin’s supports the Family Tree-GOALS program at the Aurora campus. The GOALS program is a Two-Generation (2Gen) housing and education program for families experiencing homelessness from Aurora and Arapahoe County. GOALS provides families a private room while they develop long-term goals for stability and self-reliance. Families are provided a safe space for four to nine months, and one-year of follow-up support.

The GOALS Program helps stabilize families experiencing homelessness, empowering them to move from poverty and homelessness by focusing on services and opportunities that address the needs of all family members using a 2Gen approach. Through this empowerment method, the program helps families secure safe and stable housing; increase their overall health and well-being; improve employment situations and economic assets; better position children for academic success and enhance connections for these families within their community.

St. Martin’s supports the program through donations of items such as diapers, baby wipes, pull-up training pants, cleaning supplies, garden supplies, special event meals and parties, birthday presents for children, and other supplies as requested to benefit resident families.

Sometimes providing items to donate can be difficult. Diapers and Formula can be very expensive. If you would like to donate funds to support this ministry, please do so just as you would any other donation to St Martins. Indicate the donation is specifically for Family Tree. We segregate these funds to purchase supplies when necessary. Small donations from multiple people can easily purchase items needed.

If you have any questions about St. Martin’s activities with Family Tree, please contact Dana Nelson via email or the office at 303.693.8872
