Center Closures
We follow Denver Public Schools (DPS) regarding school closures due to inclement weather, emergencies, etc. and will post up signs on our front door indicating if our center has a late start, early closure, etc. We will do our best to keep you updated on when the center will reopen again.
Blood Pressure Monitor from American Heart Association in Center Lobby
Focus Points is proud to offer a new self-service blood pressure monitor in our lobby, generously provided by the American Heart Association. This easy-to-use station allows community members to check their blood pressure and heart rate at no cost. Simply sit down, insert your arm into the cuff, and follow the on-screen instructions to receive your results in minutes. We are grateful for this partnership, which helps expand access to simple, preventive health tools for our community.

Focus Points can help you determine your family’s food assistance eligibility and connect you to the resources you need. Many families are eligible for food stamps through SNAP.

Goal Setting Program
Focus Points offers people assistance in setting goals in their personal lives. This can be getting healthy and fit, finding a new job, becoming a citizen, learning a new language, finding stable housing, or any other goals.
Though goal setting is driven by the participant, Focus Points pairs them with a mentor, helps them set attainable steps to meet their goal, and provides them with resources. Participants meet with their mentors once a month to check progress and meet their goals.
We also offer $25 for the first meeting and $50 for every follow-up check-in on your goals.
Healthcare Access
We can help individuals and families enroll in health insurance programs. These include Medicaid, CHP+ for children, and emergency Medicaid. Find out if you are eligible for these benefits.

Older Adults Programming
We allow for a space for older adults to access services and resources specific to their needs during informative workshops while finding time to socialize and get together over food or go on local field trips.

Notary Public
NOTE: This service is now available by appointment only!
We offer official notary public service. Having a document notarized is the same as swearing under oath in a court of law—you are saying that the facts contained in the document are true. A notary public is an official appointed by a state government to help deter fraud by witnessing the signing of important documents and verifying the identity of the signer(s), as well as their willingness to sign and awareness of the transaction.
Rental Resource Navigation
NOTE: We offer resource navigation to find agencies close to you that provide rental assistance. Please read below.
Focus Points can help you determine your family’s rental assistance eligibility and connect you to the resources you need. For those living either in the Globeville Elyria-Swansea area (GES) and outside of GES, Focus Points will assist in providing participants with relevant resources to prevent displacement in their correct county including Temporary Rental and Utility Assistance (TRUA) and Denver Human Services.
