More moments from CRHDC's 2026 All-Team Retreat!
Three days in the San Luis Valley gave our statewide team a chance to connect, learn, celebrate, and have some fun together! From exploring Great Sand Dunes National Park and sharing meals to meaningful conversations about mental health, organizational culture, and our future, we made some wonderful memories.
We also got to see our work in action! Our team toured the nearly completed Tierra Azul Clubhouse in Alamosa, saw the progress underway on our 8-plexes and 32-plex, and visited a Mutual Self-Help Housing neighborhood in Monte Vista.
A particularly special moment was honoring three people who have made lasting contributions to CRHDC: Janet Lucero, whose 25 years of service helped hundreds of families build homes through our Mutual Self-Help Housing Program; Board member Stephanie Tedy; and Curtis Schneider, our CFO and a 30-year team member. All three were recognized with streets named in their honor at Tierra Azul!
A huge thank-you to Bonnie Ortega and Diamond Mobley for their AMAZING mental health presentation, and to everyone who helped make the retreat possible: Angelica Gallegos at San Luis Valley Behavioral Health, Kyle at Airport Café, Dalton Carleo at the Alamosa Family Recreation Center, and Alcon Construction. We also appreciate GL Development Advisors and KEPHART Architectural Design and Planning for their contributions to Tierra Azul and for joining us on the tour!
We left with stronger connections, new perspectives, and plenty to celebrate. Here's to the people behind CRHDC!
