Caring for Denver was created from a Denver Ballot initiative to help direct funding toward addressing mental health and substance misuse needs in Denver.

With this enduring investment, Caring for Denver works with Community organizations and partners to help build vibrant Denver where all communities are strengthened by the mental health and substance misuse support they need.

In 2020 Caring 4 Denver helped found the Denver STAR program to provide alternatives to traditional police response.

Council has already voted to expand STAR multiple times since it began, growing from one van to six in order to cover the entire city. It’s popular with both police and mental health professionals.
