The best way out, is through.
Our Mission
We empower individuals with substance use or mental health challenges—especially those impacted by the justice system—by providing housing, peer support, and recovery guidance, offering not just a place to stay, but a path to a better future.
Our Vision
Providing a fresh start
Ananeo means “to renew”. Our centers provide a fresh start in life for community members to restore and redeem their story. By providing top of the line community apartments alongside a continuum of resources and care, Ananeo believes anyone can start over and build a life worth living.
Sometimes we must see it in our surroundings before we believe it in our hearts. Ananeo seeks to ensure every human being, regardless of their past, receives the dignity and opportunity that they deserve.
We’re working to reduce recidivism rates in Colorado by providing stable living spaces, resources, and pro-social opportunities. With affordable services, clients are provided a start with short term opportunities designed to foster the potential for finding long term stability and reintegration.
For many, the path to re-entry & recovery may seem more daunting than staying in prison. Although this can be a legitimate feeling, prison is not home, and nor should it ever have to be. The effort towards a successful, substance-free life after prison brings forth a whirlwind of emotions and difficult questions, but at Ananeo we believe that one question no one should face on this journey is where to call home.
What we do
Our programming
Our structured approach combines reentry & recovery housing with in-person, needs-specific programming lead by experienced professionals. These programs include sessions focused on such issues as Community Reintegration, Financial Literacy, and Relapse Prevention.

“ The world (if you will) of incarceration and reentry caught me by surprise. I had no idea that there were people out there struggling to thrive within the different layers of freedom after prison. While working full-time at the Denver Dream Center I was blindsided by story after story of the emotional and practical hardships of re-entry. I get the opportunity to hear the struggle from DOC and the struggle from former offenders finding their way. My mission is to be a middle man between these two parties (whom I love) to try to reduce recidivism in our city, our state, and who knows, maybe beyond.”
