Mailing address: 3613 Wyandot St. Denver, CO 80211 www.juliagreeleyhome.org juliagreeleyweb@gmail.com 720. 460.0860 The Julia Greeley Home gives formerly homeless women the opportunity to develop life and job skills and receive spiritual support in a peaceful, family-style home. Many good women fall into homelessness due to financial collapse, illness, family ruptures and emotional burdens. Shelters for the woman alone are few; on the street she faces special risks from sexual predators, violent crime and sex trafficking. Unlike shelters, Julia's has no departure deadline, but our goal is to lift a woman's dignity and restore self sufficiency as soon as possible. Julia's is open to all faiths, but Catholic Christian values anchor our mission. We take no government money and rely on your generosity for support. To raise awareness of pro-life ministries, organizations and businesses in the archdiocese, the Denver Catholic publishes this list of resources whose work and core values respect the sanctity of life from conception to natural death.
