🎉 A big step forward for housing in Gunnison.

After years of planning and community conversations, the Valley Housing Fund has partnered with Archway Communities to move a new workforce housing project into its next phase.

The 3.5-acre site just north of Gunnison aims to bring 50+ affordable rental homes for people who live and work in our valley.

Isn’t there already a lot of housing being built?

When you see projects like Mineral Point and Whetstone taking shape, it can feel like the housing crisis is over.

Yes, these projects are an important step forward. But across the valley, housing costs are still rising faster than local wages, and many people are still searching for homes they can afford. These new homes will be introduced in phases over the next several years, but the home totals still don't erase the needs valleywide.

That’s why this work continues. Find out how you can join us at vhfund.org.

Project Feature: GardenWalk | City of Gunnison
🏠 36 Homes
🙌 54 People Housed
💰 $60k Invested

Completed in 2021, GardenWalk created 36 apartments designed to fill the greatest housing needs in our valley. This project came together through strong local partnerships and financing support from the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA). Valley Housing Fund also provided a low-interest loan needed to complete the development.

Today, 54 local individuals and families call this vibrant community home.

Housing Myth: Affordable housing lowers property values in surrounding areas.

Research shows that community housing has little impact on surrounding property values. Better yet, affordable neighborhoods strengthen the community by supporting local workers, businesses, and long-term community stability.
