Refreshments and entertainment for the whole family will also be provided. Details and registration information for Passport to Homeownership are available on the CHFA website. | | middle-income housing tax credits awarded | CHFA has awarded $2,890,000 in Middle-income Housing Tax Credits (MIHTC) to Lumberyard Apartments in Aspen. Developed by Gorman & Company, LLC, Lumberyard Apartments will consist of 118 affordable middle-income rental units within a 173-unit development. MIHTC is a state Housing Tax Credit authorized by the Colorado General Assembly and allocated by CHFA. The program–the first of its kind in the nation–supports the development of affordable rental housing serving residents with middle income, earning between 80 percent and 120 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI), and up to 140 percent AMI in rural resort counties. | | | | | colorado is home sweepstakes winner announced | |
To celebrate National Homeownership Month in June, CHFA invited CHFA home mortgage customers to describe why owning a home in Colorado is important to them and what makes their home unique, along with submitting a photo of them and their home. CHFA received 149 entries for the Colorado is Home sweepstakes and randomly selected one winning entry to receive a $1,000 Visa gift card. Cheryl, a CHFA homeowner in Grand Junction, was announced as the winning entry.
“Colorado's natural beauty, strong sense of community, and outdoor lifestyle make it a special place to call home,” Cheryl wrote in her entry. “My home is more than just a house—it's where memories are made, milestones are celebrated, and family and friends gather together.” Congratulations, Cheryl!
