Community Economic Defence Project

Family Housing Stability & Homeless Prevention Services

When housing feels uncertain, navigating the system shouldn't be another hurdle. The Tri-Cities Homelessness Initiative has partnered with the Community Economic Defense Project (CEDP) to serve as their central coordinating agency for family homelessness and prevention services across Englewood, Sheridan, and Littleton.

Whether you are behind on rent, facing an immediate eviction notice, or currently displaced, their unified network is designed to help you and your family with immediate financial, legal, and navigation support.

Primary Goal

Stop evictions before they lead to homelessness, keeping your children stabilized and enrolled in their current school districts.
