A few months after a $2 million wage theft decision went against Urban Peak, the organization was able to secure funding and open its 136-bed shelter on schedule.
Mayor Mike Johnston and Urban Peak CEO Christina Carlson were excited to open the new Mothership campus on 1630 South Acoma Street on Wednesday, July 24, even as issues with wage theft linger.},{ "name":"Editor Picks", "component":"17242653", "insertPoint":"4", "requiredCountToDisplay":"1", "watchElement":".
Urban Peak's new campus is four floors and 66,000 square feet in size, which will give it much more space than the organization's older facility at 2100 Stout Street. The Mothership cost more than $38 million to construct and was funded largely by organizational partnerships, bonds and donations from the City of Denver and State of Colorado, as well as local fundraising.
The whole facility will not open right away to those new residents as construction workers continue to touch up parts of the building, but incoming residents will have access to a music studio, classroom and wellbeing center for therapy. Founded in 1998, Urban Peak works with about 1,000 young homeless residents a year. Many Urban Peak residents have aged out of the foster care center or are leaving unstable family situations, Carlson says, so the organization prides itself on offering a"comprehensive" set of services for them.
