Background

Partnering with the Lutheran Church of Hope in Broomfield, Anchor House is an affordable housing project for emancipated foster youth. Anchor House will be a nonprofit, transitional home for young members of the community, regardless of race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation, who have recently been emancipated from the foster care system.

​

The need for this type of affordable housing for emancipated foster youth is great. There are over 500 young people ages 14-18 just in the 3 county areas of Broomfield, Boulder and Adams Counties that will be emancipated in the next 4 years. Studies have shown that a very high percentage of these youths, without safe and adequate housing, become homeless, addicted to drugs or alcohol, or sexually exploited. With stable, affordable housing and on-going contact with case managers, they are much more likely to stay in post high school education or successfully transition into the work force.
