You’re not alone
We are here for the journey.
If you’re reading this newsletter, chances are life has thrown you one of those curveballs that flip everything upside down. A home isn’t just a structure. It is a place of safety, daily routines, memories, and comfort. Losing that space is disorienting, to put it mildly.
Over a decade ago, Our Front Porch was born — a Denver-based nonprofit built on compassion, curiosity, and a deep respect for people’s resilience. We didn’t start out as experts. We became experts by really listening to the thousands of families who have trusted us to walk alongside them after losing their homes. Why "Our Front Porch"? Because a front porch is where community happens, especially after a disaster. It’s the perfect place to gather, swap stories, ask for advice, and find your people. This is now Your Front Porch. The door is open—pull up a chair and make yourself at home.
What to Expect
Starting tomorrow, you will receive a series of tips and tools, via email and text, to help you navigate this process.
You can also call Our Front Porch anytime Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. MST, to speak with someone who can answer your questions. We offer a stress management support group, which we strongly encourage you to join—hearing from others who are going through similar experiences can help you feel less isolated.
We also host weekly Q&A sessions where you can ask questions and get guidance in real time. The more support you seek and the more questions you ask now, the stronger and more confident you’ll feel as you move through this process.
No one is expected to understand how to navigate this on their own—that’s exactly why Our Front Porch was created.
Now, take a deep breath. You’re here, and that’s a really good place to start.
