Congratulations to Marvin Kelly! |
ULC congratulates Marvin Kelly on his retirement from Del Norte Neighborhood Development Corporation. Del Norte was established in 1978, and Marvin came on board to run the nonprofit in 1981.
"Denver is a much better place thanks to Marvin's passion for creating incredible affordable housing communities," said Aaron Miripol, ULC's CEO. "He has taken on some of the most challenging sites and made them amazing communities for families, Veterans, people with HIV/AIDS, and seniors. I got to know Marvin when we partnered with Del Norte at Mile High Vista. Del Norte also built the award-winning Avondale Apartments, 80 affordable apartments for families of the West Colfax community."

Beloved Community Village, operated by CVC |
|
Colorado Village Collaborative |
The Colorado Village Collaborative (CVC) offers real change by bridging the gap for those living on the streets who seek stable housing. CVC creates and operates transformation housing communities in partnership with people coming from homelessness. With an anti-oppressive lens, CVC reaches across sectors to address the current housing crisis and with their partners, designs and produces housing that is affordable, quick and easy to build, community-centric, and environmentally friendly.
A Tiny Home is a low-impact alternative to a homeless shelter. Contrary to common myths:
- There are no lines or loitering as individuals live in their tiny homes and go to and from work or school.
- Tiny Homes are not “permanent housing;” they are intended as interim solutions to aid people while finding permanent stability.
- Tiny Home Villages have stringent rules for occupants as such, there are no illegal drugs allowed.
- CVC conducts a screening process to ensure members of the Village agree to the rules.
- Finally, Tiny Home Villages also do not bring down the market value of homes in the surrounding communities.

72nd Avenue RTD Transit Station |
|
Commerce City has long been a haven for people displaced from surrounding Denver neighborhoods as housing costs continue to rise. But as Colorado's third fastest-growing city, Commerce City has also begun to see steep real-estate increases in recent years. Because of this, ULC worked with community stakeholders to develop affordable commercial rental space for nonprofits and other mission-minded organizations.
ULC acquired the Adams County Human Services building, now referred to as South Platte Crossing, in late 2018. The area, located steps away from the RTD N-Line, was renamed Commerce City Community Campus by the community and is rapidly developing into a holistic hub for neighborhood wellness and support. The building integrates healthcare and social services to effectively manage complex clinical and social needs.
