What People are Saying
Without ECLT, I was looking at options to move out of state due to the current housing crisis and rental prices here in Denver. With this opportunity, I was able to maintain my job here in Denver providing mental health services to our community.
Jessica FoxMental Health Worker and ECLT Homeowner I never understood the importance of owning a home. I don't have a home that I grew up in. We moved around a lot… it's been a really big impact. I'm really grateful for the program.
Cristina RamirezLegal Assistant and ECLT Homeowner The largest challenge that we face, from my perspective, is the ability to continue moving forward so the agency will have a single mission: that is, to provide decent, safe, and affordable housing.
