The foundation uses the unique resources of the home building industry to complete projects that make everyday life easier for individuals and families across the Denver metro area.


HBF staff and volunteers have received your completed application for assistance. The next step in our process is to conduct a site visit at your home. In order to move to the next phase in our process after the site visit, we need you to review the following pages and submit the signed forms. Your request for assistance will then be reviewed by the HBF Project Fulfillment Committee and evaluated against HBF’s criteria and guidelines.  

 

If approved, we will contact you with an update on timing and work item(s) approved, as well as the Project Captain/ Contractors doing the work. The Project Captain/ Contractors will schedule the work completion and be your main point of contact until the project is complete. Keep in mind that all HBF projects are unique, so please allow for flexibility within the overall project, as well as patience and flexibility with scheduling as the crew completing work are HBF volunteers doing this work for you. Please call us at 303-551-6721 if you have any additional questions.
