Since 1971, we have helped more than 1,500 families achieve their dream of home ownership. We have also provided the tools and resources necessary for low- and moderate-income individuals and families to find safe and affordable rental housing.

Our affordable housing options allow families to pursue and achieve goals and create happy memories of home and family. By creating this stability, safe and affordable housing builds stronger communities.

Largely untouched by the economic boom of recent years, the rural southern Colorado cities of Center, Del Norte, Hayden, and Fountain benefit tremendously from the affordable rental housing we provide. We also offer families the opportunity to work alongside a contractor to build a home of their very own. Our newest self-help housing location is in Monte Vista at the Tierra del Sol sub-division.

To further increase home ownership opportunities throughout Colorado, including the metro Denver area, CRHDC affiliate Colorado Housing Enterprises (CHE) provides low interest loans (always at least one percent below market rate, and often as low as two to three percent below market rate) as well as down payment assistance to qualifying families that earn between 80 percent and 115 percent of the area median income. Since its inception in 1996, CHE has partnered with banks, government entities, and corporations to loan more than $38 million in first mortgages to nearly 300 families.
