EarthLinks is a Denver-based social-enterprise nonprofit rooted in the Sun Valley neighborhood. It creates Earth-centered programming for people experiencing homelessness and economic poverty, offering a safe, peaceful space that builds empowerment, resilience, and collective care for one another and the planet.

CAR Foundation support (2025) strengthened EarthLinks’ Workshop Program, helping individuals experiencing homelessness and poverty build stability through community, creativity, case management, and housing-focused services. This investment funded participant stipends and case management support, allowing EarthLinks to engage dozens of vulnerable residents in programs designed to reduce isolation, foster personal growth, and promote long-term housing stability.

Through this support, EarthLinks engaged 68 unique participants in 2025 while providing person-centered case management to every participant. The organization helped 71 percent of participants who entered the program unhoused secure housing within 12 months and assisted 91 percent of those who entered precariously housed in maintaining housing stability. Participants also grew and harvested more than 1,000 pounds of produce, created thousands of sustainable products, received financial stipends and support, and participated in peer groups, leadership opportunities, and outdoor experiences that strengthened connection and well-being.

CAR Foundation funding helped transform housing stability into a platform for lasting change. Participants reported reduced isolation, improved self-esteem, stronger community connections, and a greater sense of purpose as they moved beyond crisis and toward self-defined goals. By investing in housing retention, wraparound services, and opportunities for personal growth, the Foundation helped EarthLinks create pathways to stability, belonging, and hope for individuals working to rebuild their lives.
