Have you heard of Jeffco Human Services Foundation?
Founded to incubate and promote innovative programming for all families, Jeffco Human Services Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit agency complementing Jefferson County Human Services.
The foundation was started in 2017, with a mission to end generational poverty in Jefferson County by the year 2025 and eliminate the dependency on government benefits. JHSF steps outside typical government services with vision and innovation, fully supported by the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners and a diverse Board of Directors.
One of the programs directly impacted by JHSF is Jeffco Prosperity Partners (JPP), whose transformative change model is used to combat generational poverty and move low-income families to self-defined success. The program focuses both on parents and children through a multi-generation approach.
Through the foundation, Jefferson County engages with many community leaders, businesses, social sector agencies, schools, faith community, nonprofit organizations, and all who are interested in building a thriving community. Individual organizations, such as The Action Center, Power of Partnership, and Family Tree help support families encountering complex issues on their path to prosperity.
