CHFA is proud to announce its Round One 2024 Direct Effect Award recipients. CHFA’s Direct Effect Awards recognize Colorado nonprofit organizations whose missions align with CHFA’s work to strengthen Colorado by investing in affordable housing and community development.
CHFA is donating $1,362,000 to 104 organizations through its Direct Effect program in Round One, which received 196 applications seeking more than $4.6 million in combined funding.
The application for Direct Effect Round Two will open on August 19th and close on September 13th. To learn more, please visit

This year, CHFA is celebrating 50 years of strengthening Colorado.
