Colorado Trust Grant Empowers Brothers Redevelopment/Colorado Housing Connects to Tackle Housing Challenges Across Colorado

Brothers Redevelopment is thrilled to announce that we are one of 83 organizations across Colorado selected to receive a Community Resilience Initiatives Grant from The Colorado Trust.

This funding, which began on July 1 and will continue until the end of 2026, will fuel a multi-year effort to improve our evaluation methods, strengthen our impact in rural communities, and enhance the depth and breadth of our housing programs. The Colorado Trust’s Community Resilience Initiatives support the organization’s strategic plan’s focus areas of food, housing, and mental and behavioral health.

“We are deeply humbled and honored to be chosen from over 600 applicants statewide. This recognition not only affirms the value of our work but also underscores the critical need for accessible, affordable housing and strong, resilient communities across Colorado,” said Brothers Redevelopment President Jeff Martinez.

The $344,634 multi-year grant from The Colorado Trust will support the implementation of a housing communications plan to elevate our client stories and reduce the stigma associated with housing instability and homelessness. Additionally, this funding will enhance our resource navigation, mediation, education, and housing counseling through Brothers Redevelopment’s housing helpline, Colorado Housing Connects (1-844-926-6632). Finally, the grant will also support tailored outreach and housing services for rural communities.

In order to receive the grant, Brothers Redevelopment went through a rigorous application process in which we described how we would use grant funding to develop, implement, and sustain effective methods to address areas of concern in the communities we serve.

In addition to providing Brothers Redevelopment with a Community Resilience Initiatives Grant, The Colorado Trust has also sponsored our annual fundraiser, the Local Social, multiple times since 2021.

We are incredibly grateful to The Colorado Trust for their generous support and belief in our mission. We are confident that this grant will have a profound impact on our ability to build stronger, more resilient communities across Colorado, one home and one family at a time.

Stay tuned for updates on our progress and the exciting new initiatives we will be rolling out with the support of this grant.
