Comitis Family Services
Serving our community since 1969
Comitis pronounced ko-MY-tis, means friendship or companionship. It is used to build the word community. Comitis is a community of skilled professionals, caring volunteers, and enthusiastic supporters.
The Comitis Crisis Center, Inc. began operations in 1969 with an initial mission of providing alternative assistance to youth with substance abuse problems. Comitis was the first program to provide services in this Federal region for runaway youth in 1971.
Today, Comitis offers a comprehensive program of services, from emergency housing, crisis intervention, short-term treatment, aftercare, outreach, and education and prevention services. Our services include:
-Transitional family shelter. Three- to six-month short-term shelter for families including those receiving Colorado Works (TANF) through Arapahoe County.
-Emergency family shelter. A nightly emergency shelter for families with children under 18 years old.
-Transitional VA shelter. For veterans and their families as they gain self-sufficiency.
-Opportunity for Recovery Unit (ORU) and UCHealth. One wing of the shelter, separated from the families, serves people in active recovery with intensive daily treatment (ORU). UCH patients who have recently been released from medical care but still need individualized care and have housing instability.
