Life Skills

Partners In Housing is a self-sufficiency program.  In order to assist our “Partners” in obtaining the skills to become self-sufficient, they are required to attend a number of classes.  Mandatory Life Skills classes are held the third Thursday of every month from 6-7pm at the Colorado House and Resource Center, located at 21 S. Wahsatch Ave. 

In addition to our monthly Thursday classes, Partners In Housing also sponsors a number of other Life Skills classes for our “Partners.”  These classes include financial, nutrition, and voter education classes. 

For additional information please contact Dovey, Program Manager or call (719) 325-5822.
