About us

Argonaut Apartments offers housing for people who:

• - are 55 years of age or older
• -are 24 years of age and can prove they have a physical and/or mental disability 

Many residents of the Argonaut/El Tovar regularly utilize some services independently without Resident Service Coordinator needing to assist now: Weekly RTD shuttle to grocery store Argonaut Food Pantry (has donated canned and dry staples) Metro Care Ring for fresh food and bus tokens Denver Urban Ministries for fresh food, bus tokens and donations RTD/Access-A-Ride Bus Transportation and Light Rail Medical transportation Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security Benefits On-line In Home Health Services Mental Health Services both in house and out patient Substance Abuse Prevention Services Residents also use a Resource Binder which is in the computer room next to Resident Service Coordinator office and in the Community Room of the Argonaut to independently access services without the need for assistance.

Cost Savings are recorded for each service provided. This results in a financial savings or financial increase which benefits the resident. Many residents would not have received the services or benefits they requested or needed while also saving money without the efforts of the Resident Service Coordinator. In this last year, residents saved a total of $559,885.00 for all services from the period of on year. The cost savings in health care services alone was $532,370.00

The Resident Service Coordinator plays a major role in assisting residents to find the assistance they require. It can be financial or a needed service so a tenant can be in good standing. Eviction Prevention Cost Savings occur when the intervention or actions of a service coordinator halt the eviction process from proceeding to legal action. This process saves the property itself approximately $3,700.00 for each eviction that is prevented. During this year, there were three potential evictions that did not reach the need for formal "eviction prevention" stage which would have been logged at $7,200.00 Residents were able to resolve payment issues before going to legal. Two of them had previously used agencies for funding and used them independently of Resident Service Coordinator already knowing what was required.
