It's not a motel.

It's housing that heals.

Once an iconic roadside motel along I-25, Joshua Station has been providing safe, dignified housing to Denver's unhoused families since 2001. But it's in desperate need of a renovation.

We're asking our neighbors to help us bring it back to its former glory like our residents deserve. Will you help?

Our Goal & Our Progress

We need to raise $1.75 million by the end of 2025 to complete critical renovations at Joshua Station for the families that live there. Here's where we're at:

Raised $910,000 so far!

Step in to help someone stand tall.

We're calling on our Denver neighbors to help us restore Joshua Station and build home, hope, and belonging for local unhoused families trying to get back on their feet. Every single act of generosity - no matter the size - makes a massive impact.

What is Joshua Station?

When you drive past this building on I‑25, you might assume it’s just another old motel. But look again.

This isn’t a place where people check in and check out. It’s where families check into a new life.

At Joshua Station, we welcome parents and children who’ve endured the trauma of homelessness — and offer them more than a room. We offer stability. We offer dignity. We offer hope.

Because it’s not a motel. It’s a mission.

A Need We Can't Ignore

Over 3,000 families in Denver are currently unhoused

living in cars, couch-surfing, or worse. Joshua Station exists to change that reality. And you can help us.

Housing That Heals

Real-Life Stories of Transformation

"I hadn’t slept in a bed of my own since 2018."

“The moment I walked into my new room at Joshua Station, I cried just seeing the bed. I hadn’t slept in a bed of my own since 2018. At best I would be in my car for naps or hiding on a workplace floor, going weeks hardly sleeping at all.”

- Jenny

"I hadn’t known if we could make it as a family."

“When I came to Joshua Station, my self-confidence was very, very low. When my family advocate showed me into our unit and I saw a beautiful sign that said ‘Family,’ it made me cry. I hadn’t known if we could make it as a family."

- Maria

"I was able to accomplish so many things that I had put off for so many years."

“My time here at Joshua Station was a time for me to work on myself as a person and to work towards being a better mom. I was able to accomplish so many things that I had put off for so many years, having a place to call home was such a huge weight lifted off my shoulders.”

- Crystal
