- 160,992 Colorado homebuyers achieve homeownership;
- 214,518 households attend homebuyer education classes held statewide;
- 87,215 affordable rental housing units be developed or preserved; and
- 9,980 businesses access capital.
Revitalizing neighborhoods and creating jobs
Our network of participating lenders and community partners helps us deploy our resources statewide and are instrumental to our work.We are known for our commitment to innovation and customer service. We also offer a wide variety of professional education classes and technical assistance to help our customers and partners succeed.
