Using the Powers of Emotion to End Homelessness

For the group projects, my group (Shannon, Chelsea, Erin, and I) chose to write about the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless. For our essay, we decided to divide and conquer by choosing different sections to write about and then compiling them all together for an effective essay. My part was about the housing, so here is an excerpt from the essay:

One of the many ways that the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless provides aid to our homeless population comes through building housing and shelters across the state. These buildings include houses, apartments, and lofts made for low-income families and to accommodate those with mental and physical disabilities. They are located in convenient areas, making trips to and from work or school easier.
The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless has built 15 apartment complexes and lofts in the Denver area. The Renaissance Civic Center apartments have won five awards. Three were awarded in 2004 for Affordable Housing & Community Preservation, and two in 2008 for "outstanding dedication and commitment in support of chronically homeless individuals" and another for affordable housing. Residents off the Civic Center apartments also have access to on-site management, abuse treatment, and mental healthcare (Coalition 2010).
