Over the past 25 years, Habitat for Humanity of Colorado has been a part of the solution and a leader in affordable housing. Habitat for Humanity prides itself in building strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter. Across Colorado, Habitat for Humanity has built, renovated, and repaired more than 3,100 homes, housing over 6,000 individuals. HFHC has harnessed the power of collaboration to bring more than $100 million in public and private funds to local projects and has provided leadership in disaster recovery, spearheading nearly 800 repairs and replacing homes following the 2013 floods. Through the WeBuild program, we have engaged nearly 3,000 prison inmates seeking the dignity of a trade and the opportunity to contribute to the communities they offended. We have forged relationships with elected officials and advocated for the cost of a home to be something all Coloradans can afford. We provide exceptional education and support to affiliate staff, board members, and volunteers throughout the Rocky Mountain region, all toward our shared vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live.
