Providing a safe home, and strong foundation for a bright future

At True North Polaris House, we provide a safe and supportive home for young adults leaving foster care or facing homelessness as they transition into independence. Located in Boulder County, our mission is to empower residents to achieve financial stability, develop essential life skills, and build the confidence needed to thrive on their own.
