Catholic Charities of Central Colorado

With a primary focus on children and families, Catholic Charities of Central Colorado (CCCC) is committed to helping individuals and families strengthen themselves so that they may rise out of crisis and into stability. Our Family Connections program provides life coaching/case management, family support services, early childhood enrichment & education, and much more to help families thrive, not just survive.

As a referral source for Pikes Peak United Way 2-1-1, we are often the first line of defense for individuals and families in crisis, providing emergency financial assistance, basic needs for families to include diapers, formula, and baby food, and a path to stability by working with our case managers.

Most recently, CCCC has made a transformative step forward in our commitment to addressing family homelessness and housing instability in the Pikes Peak Region. In December 2022, we purchased the former Hunt Elementary School campus in Colorado Springs. The Hunt Family Housing project converted the historic two-story building into 24 multisized family apartments designated for transitional housing. During their 6- to 18-month stay, residents have access to wraparound services provided by Catholic Charities and our partners, including in-depth case management, behavioral health services, parenting and early childhood classes, and more. Construction is complete and the first families moved in late August 2025!  

At our Marian House campus downtown, Catholic Charities provides a daily meal to anyone in need. This is often the only source of a balanced meal that many of our clients have in their day. The Marketplace food pantry lets vulnerable neighbors’ shop – at no cost – for groceries. This service helps many save funds to pay rent and remain housed. Our Hanifen Employment Center provides mentoring, skills training, job fairs and more to help people become employed or find better employment.

Catholic Charities’ Family Immigration Services program, established in 2009, provides a variety of legal services to our immigrant community. We are the only nonprofit in our 10-county service area licensed by the U.S. Department of Justice to provide legal immigration services. Our Family Immigration Services (FIS) program educates, represents, and advocates for immigrants and refugees.

Catholic Charities also provides access to comprehensive health services that support the physical and mental well-being of those we serve. Through strong external partnerships at the Marian House, clients can access critical health resources such as medical screenings and connections to ongoing healthcare. In addition, our recently expanded Catholic Charities Counseling Services now offers a variety of counseling and therapy services to better meet the growing mental health needs of our community.
