Rededication of Samaritan House shelter family floor planned for Oct. 16

Denver, CO—Supporters and local officials will attend a rededication event inside Samaritan House shelter downtown after construction crews completed a major renovation project in September.

The more than 30-year-old shelter building underwent major remodeling on its family floor this summer to accommodate the rise in demand for shelter in the city and update the aging infrastructure. Colorado is the third-highest state in the nation with unsheltered families with children, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on the state of homelessness.

Samaritan House shelter is one of Catholic Charities of Denver’s shelter that provides resources and programs for single men, women and families.

Media are invited to the rededication event that will include a ceremony and tours of the remodeled space.
