Civic Center park, were the ones who were walking around picking up trash and taking care of it,” said Eric Lazzari, the Conservancy’s executive director.
Last year, 24 people were hired to work six hours a day, three days a week for the season. Ten moved on to permanent jobs with the parks department or used the program as a stepping stone in their career path. This season, there’s about five people on the job daily with about a dozen in the program, he said.
“These are folks making the steps to transition out of homelessness and were looking for jobs,” Lazzari said. “What started out as a parks problem solved the parks problem but also impacted and changed the lives of others.”
What started as a side project for Nick
Reichert and friend Lance Harding to make a few extra bucks in 2016 is now a couch refurbishing and upcycling business helping those in need.
“One of our first couches actually went to someone who was just getting off the streets,” said Reichert, who was a fly fishing guide in the Vail Valley when he noticed free couches on Craigslist that were often in decent condition.
“I’ve always had a heart, especially for the homeless. He was just so excited to get this really nice couch that had been fixed up and cleaned up (and) delivered to his house.”
The Good Couch in Lakewood today receives about 50 couches a week (it also offers pickup). After cleaning and fixing them, the couches are sold online. That helps sustain the company, which is profitable. It donates some of the proceeds to the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless but also provides couches to folks who are getting a home

But some couches are in such bad shape or, well, just outdated, ugly and unsellable. Those ones are stripped for parts and recycled to avoid the landfill or upcycled into something new.
“Being a fly fishing guide, I have a heart for sustainability. I want to see as little waste go into the landfill as possible,” he said. “In couches, there’s just all this wood and metal, upholstery foam. None of that’s good in a landfill.”
Wood and metal has been used for shelving and the company’s storage shed. Extra frames, hardware and legs are used to fix up other couches. Reichert also estimates that The Good Couch has saved 1,000 pounds of leather from landfills.

“I’d say that at least 95% of what we take is at least partially or fully disassembled and reused,” he said. “The most fulfilling part is definitely being able to get furniture to the people who (the Coalition) is able to place in semipermanent housing. And there’s a lot of other ministries and organizations now, too, that know about us and are able to recommend us so we do get to give away a fair amount of couches every month to folks in need.”
