Westminster nonprofit Growing Home pivots to prevent families from becoming homeless
After more than 20 years of directly placing unhoused families in temporary homes, a Westminster nonprofit has switched its focus to preventing homelessness in the first place.
Growing Home opened in 1998 as Adams County Interfaith Hospitality Network. At the time, the suburbs had relatively few services for homeless families, founder Kathleen Drozda said in an interview in 2018. Most people who need housing in the area aren’t chronically homeless, but hit a setback that caused them to fall behind on rent, she said.
The Denver Post Season To Share is the annual holiday fundraising campaign for The Denver Post and The Denver Post Community Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Grants are awarded to local nonprofit agencies that provide life-changing programs to help low-income children, families and individuals move out of poverty toward stabilization and self-sufficiency.

They came to America looking for better lives – and better schools. The results were mixed.
AURORA — Starting seventh grade at her first American school, facing classes taught entirely in English, Alisson Ramirez steeled herself for rejection and months of feeling lost.
“I was nervous that people would ask me things and I wouldn’t know how to answer,” the Venezuelan teen says. “And I would be ashamed to answer in Spanish.”
But it wasn’t quite what she expected. On her first day in Aurora Public Schools in Colorado this past August, many of her teachers translated their classes’ relevant vocabulary into Spanish and handed out written instructions in Spanish. Some teachers even asked questions such as “terminado?” or “preguntas?” — Are you done? Do you have questions? One promised to study more Spanish to better support Alisson.

Daylight saving time ends next weekend. This is how to prepare for the potential health effects.
The good news: You will get a glorious extra hour of sleep. The bad: It’ll be dark as a pocket by late afternoon for the next few months in the U.S.
Daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. local time next Sunday, Nov. 3, which means you should set your clock back an hour before you go to bed. Standard time will last until March 9 when we will again “spring forward” with the return of daylight saving time.
That spring time change can be tougher on your body. Darker mornings and lighter evenings can knock your internal body clock out of whack, making it harder to fall asleep on time for weeks or longer. Studies have even found an uptick in heart attacks and strokes right after the March time change.
