Family Tree

What Family Tree does

Family Tree, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit human services agency founded in 1976 and headquartered in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. The organization addresses the interconnected issues of child abuse, domestic violence, and homelessness through an integrated, trauma-informed service model, claiming to be the only organization in the Denver metro area combining all three service lines. Family Tree operates across a seven-county Denver metro region (Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, Jefferson) with eight physical program locations including emergency shelters (Roots of Courage, House of Hope), supportive housing facilities (GOALS, Marshall Street Landing), legal advocacy offices, and a retail thrift store (Treasure Trunk).

The organization's service portfolio is organized into three pillars: Children & Youth Services (SafeCare Colorado in-home parenting program, Community Family Resource Team, Kinship Programs), Domestic Violence Services (24-hour crisis line, Roots of Courage shelter, legal advocacy at PorchLight Family Justice Center, parenting time supervision), and Housing & Family Stabilization (House of Hope shelter, GOALS Two-Generation program, Marshall Street Landing permanent supportive housing, homelessness prevention case management). The technology stack is standard nonprofit management software with one evidence-based program license (SafeCare® Colorado). Outcome metrics include 6,465 people served and 14,208 crisis line responses in FY 24-25, with 80% of GOALS households transitioning to stable housing and 100% of Community Family Resource Team youth diverted from further child welfare involvement.

The revenue model is a multi-stream nonprofit funding architecture comprising individual donations, corporate sponsorships, government contracts and grants (Adams County Foundation, Colorado Department of Housing, Colorado Department of Local Affairs, CHFA), planned giving/estate gifts, vehicle donations (through Vehicles for Charity), the Colorado Homeless Contribution Tax Credit (HCTC) program, and retail revenue from Treasure Trunk thrift store. The 2026 Celebration of Achievement event raised $210,000 with 25 corporate sponsors, and the organization has 15+ key development partners supporting its capital projects, most notably the 85-unit Marshall Street Landing development that opened in 2025. Services are provided free of charge to clients, and the organization is governed by a 19-member Board of Directors with a leadership team headed by CEO Paolo Diaz.
