Current state of homelessness in Aurora
Homeless Assistance
The city is not a direct service provider, but it funds community agencies that provide direct services to individuals experiencing homelessness.
Aurora Regional Navigation Campus
The city is working on establishing a regional navigation campus to support those experiencing homelessness and provide homeless prevention services. Learn more about this project at EngageAurora.org/NavigationCampus.
Aurora Outreach Team
The Aurora Outreach Team is a dedicated support unit, not an enforcement entity. Their mission is to engage with individuals who are camping or living in vehicles or RVs, connecting them with vital community services. Comprised of trained professionals with extensive experience in homelessness outreach, the team provides direct assistance through daily engagement efforts. New clients are enrolled exclusively during these outreach activities. Individuals already receiving services should contact their case manager directly. Due to high call volumes, the team is unable to accept external referrals at this time. For additional resources, visit the Aurora Day Resource Center, 13387 E. 19th Place, for referrals and support.
County Human Services
Counties, as the lead health and human services agencies at the local level, also assist those experiencing homelessness. Follow the links to learn more about the programs available by county.
