To be the leading partner in the development of housing opportunities for low-to-moderate income households in Greeley/Weld County.
High Plains Housing Development Corp. (High Plains) was established in 1994 by community leaders from the City of Greeley, Weld County, and United Way of Weld County, to prevent community deterioration in low income areas, and to assist low-to-moderate income individuals and families through affordable housing development strategies. The organization is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation and is governed by a volunteer board of directors with representation from low income households or neighborhoods, the business community, and affordable housing advocates. High Plains is a designated Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) by the Colorado Department of Local Affairs, Division of Housing.
In its early years under the umbrella of the Greeley/Weld Housing Authority (GWHA), High Plains developed three tax credit properties with 64 total housing units serving very low income seniors and families. These properties continue to provide stable housing more than 20 years later, and are managed by the GWHA.
As a mission-driven, local, nonprofit developer that intends to develop locally-owned permanent affordable housing projects, the niche that High Plains is strategically best aligned to address are those projects/populations/needs that larger for-profit affordable housing developers are not meeting: small-scale Permanent Supportive Housing projects and workforce housing designed to target extremely low income households (30%-50%) and vulnerable, chronically-homeless individuals. Because PSH and extremely low income projects are more complex to develop, finance, and operate (particularly PSH) with lower margins, nonprofit developers like High Plains often take the lead in developing these projects.
