HelpCOS

Thank you for taking a moment to learn about the service agencies in Colorado Springs that are proactively addressing the diverse causes of poverty and homelessness in our community. From mental health care to substance abuse programs, housing opportunities to health care, you can make a difference by giving a hand up, not a handout.

HelpCOS provides a list of services available in the City of Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak Region. The guide is maintained by the City of Colorado Springs. For additional information within El Paso County, you can visit Helping hands and/or call 211 from your home phone or 955-0742 from your cell phone for resource referrals.
