Greccio Housing is a community housing development organization in Colorado Springs, and their mission is to provide stable, safe, and affordable housing, offer resources for residents to achieve stability, and promote solutions to the affordable housing needs of our community. In 1990, Greccio’s
Founder Claudia Deats-Rodgers had a dream of improving the quality of life for people in need of affordable rental housing. Greccio’s first property, 321 N Weber St, has only 9 units and is still one of our properties. Greccio has grown to 599 apartments and 1,000 residents across dozens of properties in El Paso and Teller Counties. Housing stability is provided through lower rents, access to a variety of
services, guidance, community events, educational workshops, and ongoing assistance that helps residents on their path toward self-sufficiency and financial independence. Greccio is committed to leading the charge in meeting the needs of our community through the revitalization and development of affordable multifamily properties. Most recently, indicative of Greccio’s success in expanding operations
to meet the community’s need for affordable housing, Greccio took over management of Valley View apartments which added an additional 24 units to its portfolio.
General operating funds will help Greccio sustain its operations and simultaneously lay the foundation on which it can achieve the following organizational goals:
