Bridging The Gap Between The Streets And Stable Housing

Colorado Village Collaborative exists to bridge the gap between the streets and stable housing by creating and operating transformational housing communities in partnership with people experiencing homelessness.

What is Colorado Village Collaborative?

Empowering Community, Enacting Change

Colorado Village Collaborative exists to create and operate transformational housing communities in partnership with people coming from homelessness. With an empowerment-based and anti-oppressive lens, CVC reaches across sectors to address the current housing crisis. Together with our partners, we design and produce housing that is affordable, quick and easy to build, community centric, and environmentally friendly.

Tiny Home Villages

WHY TINY HOMES?

Tiny home villages provide a strategy for quickly and cost-effectively developing temporary housing units that can be utilized to transition people from homelessness to stable housing.

While a new affordable unit in Denver costs an average of $290,000, a tiny home can be constructed for $15,000 in material costs. Each home provides dignity and privacy, while the villages are designed to provide a pathway to stable housing. Each village employs a participatory governance structure, empowering villagers to design their community and their future.

Safe Outdoor Spaces

WHY SAFE OUTDOOR SPACES?

Launched in December 2020 to respond quickly to the COVID-19 pandemic in partnership with the City and County of Denver, CVC now operates three Safe Outdoor Spaces in the Denver metro area. These SOS sites provide resources and services in a healthy and secure environment that is staffed 24/7. This innovative model provides outdoor, individualized shelter and a pathway into stable housing for people experiencing homelessness in Denver.
