Together Colorado Local Organizing Committees
LARIMER COUNTY
ABOUT US
Our mission is to address social issues in Larimer County through faith-driven community organizing. We identify specific needs in our community through face-to-face listening campaigns, research solutions to those concerns, and organize the faith community to forward systemic and structural solutions to those concerns.
We bring a faith voice and moral voice to our communities, working toward a future where Northern Colorado is a place where everyone has the opportunity to thrive, without exception. This cluster of congregations in Northern Colorado is currently focused on addressing homelessness in Loveland and surrounding areas.

Loveland SafeLot Parking (LSP) is a grassroots organization providing safe, legal overnight parking for unhoused individuals and families in the Loveland area.
