CHFA's vision is that everyone in Colorado will have the opportunity for housing stability and economic prosperity.
Created in 1973
CHFA’s mission is to strengthen Colorado by investing in affordable housing and community development. We were created in 1973 by the Colorado General Assembly to address the shortage of affordable housing in the state.In 1982, when the Colorado economy was experiencing economic difficulties, CHFA began making loans to businesses.

- 155,501 Colorado homebuyers achieve homeownership;
- 205,796 households attend homebuyer education classes held statewide;
- 84,040 affordable rental housing units be developed or preserved; and
- 9,505 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.
