Native American Services (NAS)
The Native American Services (NAS) Program provides culturally responsive support for Native American, Alaska Native, and Indigenous individuals and families experiencing homelessness, housing instability, behavioral health concerns, substance use challenges, and other barriers to well-being.
NAS offers case management, resource navigation, advocacy, and referrals to both internal and community-based services. When a needed service is not available within our organization, we work closely with community partners to connect individuals to appropriate resources and supports.
Our culturally grounded groups include:
• Talking Circle – Every other Monday, 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
• White Bison Wellbriety 12-Step Medicine Wheel Group – Every other Monday, 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
• Cultural Arts Group – Every other Tuesday, 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
• Clubhouse Group – Every other Tuesday, 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Through these services, NAS helps individuals strengthen cultural connections, build community, access resources, and work toward greater stability, healing, and self-determined goals. Participants have opportunities to engage in traditional and contemporary cultural activities, including regalia making, moccasin making, beading, jewelry making, and other Native arts. NAS also coordinates and participates in cultural and community events such as powwows, cultural celebrations, community feasts, museum visits, educational events, wellness activities, and other gatherings that promote cultural identity, belonging, healing, and connection to community.
NAS provides comprehensive case management services to unsheltered Indigenous adults and adult couples at NAS events and through street outreach in the Denver Metro area.
NAS Outreach Case Management helps unhoused relatives connect to services and resources to survive, stabilize, and exit homelessness. Our services include:
- referrals to emergency shelter, Safe Outdoor Spaces, Transitional Housing, Bridge Housing
- referrals and navigation to medical care, behavioral healthcare, and substance treatment
- housing applications and housing systems navigation
- referrals to vocational programs and employment services
- assistance with obtaining vital documents, CIBs, and benefits
Our program is not currently able to directly provide emergency shelter, motel vouchers, or crisis counseling. We do not currently have capacity to provide case management for housed relatives, families, or individuals currently receiving supportive services from other programs. When possible, we attempt to make referrals to other sources for these supports.
Native American Services at the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless is a proud and active participant in the larger Indigenous community in the Denver Metro Region.
