The Delores Project

About The Delores Project

The Delores Project provides a dignified, inclusive 24/7 shelter and personalized services for unaccompanied women and transgender individuals experiencing homelessness, and advocates for housing solutions. The Delores Project believes that those experiencing homelessness deserve a safe place to lay their heads at night. By providing shelter in a welcoming environment and without judgment, our guests begin to believe that they have value and are worthy of our care and regard. The Delores Project is named for Delores Big Boy, a Lakota woman who frequently lived on the streets of Denver. Her situation was complicated by health, developmental and substance abuse issues, as well as physical and sexual violence.
