Homes with Heart presents the Inclusive Employment Hub:
a structured, professionally managed fulfillment and light assembly operation in the Denver Metro region.
Integrating Housing and Employment for Adults
with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Across Colorado, hundreds of adults with I/DD graduate from structured school-based programs each year and enter a world with extremely limited opportunities. Individuals who are capable, motivated, and eager to contribute often find themselves without access to consistent paid work.
Meaningful employment directly affects dignity, independence, and long-term community integration. Work creates rhythm. It builds confidence. It fosters social connection. Work generates earned income and reinforces the understanding that contribution has value.
Homes with Heart's mission is to provide housing stability. The Inclusive Employment Hub's principle focus is economic participation. We are designing housing and employment as mutually reinforcing systems.
The Hub will serve small and mid-sized Colorado brands that need reliable support with product kitting, light assembly, and order fulfillment. These businesses often experience seasonal demand spikes or growth periods that strain internal staffing. Rather than hiring additional permanent warehouse employees, they can outsource structured overflow production to the Hub.
In return, adults with I/DD gain access to real, paid employment in a supportive and commercially disciplined environment.
Work is organized into clearly defined production lanes with visually structured workflows
Tasks are segmented to accommodate a range of abilities while maintaining professional quality standards
An experienced production supervisor oversees daily operations
On-site job coaching ensures training consistency & advancement readiness
PILOT PROGRAM: We are raising $25,000 seed capital to launch the Hub with a focused, disciplined pilot phase in the South Metro Denver region. The pilot facility will operate in a modest 1,000 sqft light industrial space — intentionally lean and controlled. At launch, the Hub will employ 6 adults with I/DD in part-time paid roles. The model is designed to reach operational break-even within six-months, at an estimated 3,000 monthly orders. The objective of the pilot is disciplined proof of concept: proving that a structured, inclusive workforce can operate within a commercially disciplined fulfillment environment.
