Thrive Community Conversation: The Future of Young Adult Housing in Denver
Thursday, October 29 | 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. | Lawrence Street Center Terrace Room (2nd Floor), Denver
What does it take to build safer, more supportive communities where young people can thrive?
Join us for an interactive conversation about youth housing, community-engaged research, and the relationship between research and practice.
The conversation builds on a recently completed University of Colorado grant project led by Dr. Annie Miller, focused on developing youth housing in Denver through Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) practices.
Rather than a traditional lecture or panel, this event will use a World Café-style format, with participants moving through small-group conversations facilitated by researchers, students, practitioners, and community partners.
Together, we'll explore questions around:
- Youth housing access and policy
- Partnerships between academia and community practice
- Housing, youth, and the criminal justice system
No research or policy background is required. We welcome community members, young people, students, practitioners, researchers, service providers, advocates, and community organizations to bring their experiences, questions, and perspectives to the conversation.
The Center for Community Safety and Resilience (CCSR) at the University of Colorado Denver School of Public Affairs invites you to join the Thrive Series, a series of conversations bringing together academic and lived-experience experts, practitioners, and community members.

This year, we welcome Erik Weihenmayer, the first blind person to summit Mt. Everest and co-founder of the non-profit organization, No Barriers. As an American athlete, adventurer, author, activist and motivational speaker, Erik focuses his efforts on empowering people who are traditionally swept to the sidelines of life. Through his non-profit, Erik helps people with challenges tap into the human spirit, break through barriers, and contribute to the world.
We invite you to attend an unforgettable evening as Erik takes the stage to show just what it means to live a "no barriers life" and learn how you can lower barriers to support student success. With the power of the community, we can reach this year's $400,000 goal to help students advance their education.
