WAGEES Colorado (Work and Gain Education & Employment Skills Program)

Community Partners offer a wide range of services. The services offered under WAGEES are free of charge for most services, but there is often a progressive cost share for services such as housing. Some Community Partners have their own housing available to people who need such assistance and are willing to follow the rules and guidelines established by the Community Partner for safe and successful reentry. Housing resources are always in strong demand, which creates limitations in the duration and amount of support provided. Talk with your Community Partner for the most current information and availability.
