2-Year Housing Q&A

Are pets allowed?

Unfortunately, due to allergies and shared common areas we cannot allow pets in our homes.

Will I be able to work?

Yes, we encourage all residents to be working. However, employment schedules must not conflict with program curfews and requirements.

Can I have my car?

You may have a car, you will not have access to it while in Immersion Phase (the first 4-6 weeks). The use of a car is viewed as a privilege and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Do my charges disqualify me?

While we do accept people with criminal histories, including felonies, City Ordinance 565.28.1, prohibits us from accepting those who are currently serving probation or parole for a crime against a person and those who have an outstanding warrant.

Do you take children?

Treasure House accepts pregnant women or women with children 3 and younger.

What about pain meds?

We do not allow medical marijuana, benzos, and opiates.

Can I go to school?

Yes. However, school schedules must not conflict with program curfews and requirements.

Am I allowed to date? What about a romantic relationship I’m already in?

Dating men or women is prohibited for at least the first year of the program. All current relationships will need to be put on hold for that time.

How much does it cost?

Year One: $500

Months 13-18: $600

Months 19-24: $700

Do I have to be a Christian?

You are not required to be a Christian but we believe that true transformation comes from knowing Jesus Christ. The foundation of our program is based on the Bible and residents are required to attend Church at Open Door Fellowship.

We understand that church attendance can be sensitive. We believe that our community is a safe and open place for all people regardless of past church experience.

How do I apply?

If the house you're interested in is filling openings, you will come to the Open Door Ministries office (1530 Marion St. Denver Co 80218) to attend an orientation. You will learn about the program and will be invited to stay for an interview. Following interviews, staff will check references and run a background check. You will mostly likely be contacted in 7-10 business days. 

How do I apply If I’m in jail/prison?
