Last week, ULC joined Archway Communities to celebrate the grand opening of 154 affordable apartments at the Mosaic Community Campus in South Park Hill – homes providing critical housing to families in Denver earning $27,000 to $78,000 a year. The buildings are owned by Archway and held in Urban Land Conservancy’s community land trust, which ensures permanent affordability and that the land will always be used for community benefit.?Read about Mosaic & more in our latest newsletter, and subscribe!

??? Affordable housing is a basic human right. As we celebrate 47 years of the Community Reinvestment Act, we must continue to push for reforms that foster truly affordable housing without displacement. Let’s make sure CRA remains a catalyst for stable communities! #ProtectCRA #JustEconomy #HousingForAll #CommunityDevelopment National Community Reinvestment Coalition - NCRC

We recently celebrated ten years of joy, resilience, and transformation at Thriftway Pocket Park on Morrison Road! Once an abandoned supermarket, it is now a thriving and functional community space featuring a futsal court, playground, and gardens; this park is a testament to the power of community action.????? ? With local vendors, Nerf games, a deejay, and support from the Westwood Community Action Team, the event was a great way to bring neighbors together to celebrate a space that’s unique to Westwood. ???????? ? ULC is also deeply connected to the Re:Vision (Denver, CO) campus on Morrison Road, and we’re excited to continue growing and partnering with this amazing community! ??????

We are always in awe of our friends and partners at Re:Vision (Denver, CO). Their new video showcases the caring relationships they've cultivated with the Westwood community.

It's seriously heartwarming to see families moving into the new, affordable housing on the Mosaic Community Campus, newly renovated by Archway Communities as part of a ULC community land trust. Thank you to Wanya Reese and Denver7 (KMGH-TV) for this follow-up story! #affordablehousing

For nonprofits, staying in place is essential to providing the services the community depends on. The Center for African American Health in Northeast Park Hill has a long-term home via ULC’s nontraditional community land trust, allowing it to be rooted in the community -- now more than ever.

NOW: Mosaic Community Campus in South Park Hill welcomed its very first residents today! Congratulations to our new friends settling into their new apartments, and to our old friends at Archway Communities who made it possible. ????

Urban Land Conservancy and our partners were happy to welcome Access Denver to the vibrant Mosaic Community Campus for behind-the-scenes tours:

"Some of the units have beautiful stained glass windows, wooden archways and amazing brick walls." In October, Archway Communities will host a grand opening for its beautiful, new, affordable housing in historic dorms at the Mosaic Community Campus. Greater Park Hill News is the first to cover this exciting milestone at the edge of South Park Hill and East Colfax! ??????
