homeownership sweepstakes launching in june

June is National Homeownership Month. To celebrate, CHFA is hosting the Colorado is Home sweepstakes. Throughout the month of June, CHFA home mortgage customers are invited to share why owning a home in Colorado is important to them and what makes their home unique in 200 words or less, along with a photo of them and their home. A random entry will be chosen to win a $1,000 gift card. Complete details are available on the CHFA website. 

small-scale technical assistance pre-application deadline

The pre-application deadline for the second round of CHFA’s Small-scale Technical Assistance program is Friday, June 26th. The program helps catalyze small-scale affordable housing developments of 25 units or less by providing access to an affordable housing consultant and pre-development grant assistance. Guidelines and pre-application documents are available on the CHFA website, and prospective applicants are encouraged to partner with their local Community Relationship Manager
