History
Focus Points was founded 20 years ago as a community resource for families in the Five Points neighborhood. In 2010, the organization moved into the former home of the Cross-Community Coalition at 48th and Columbine, expanding Focus Points' outreach into the Swansea, Globeville and Elyria neighborhoods. Focus Points is now serving a larger part of NorthEast Denver than ever before and has been recognized as a leader in the effort to provide high-quality programs in both Spanish and English.
