Hope Springs

Building Innovative Communities

Hope Springs, a vacant greenfield property in Greeley and adjacent to the City of Evans is currently being transformed into a 174 Habitat Home Development. The project features an on-site childcare center, a state-of-the-art mini-pitch soccer field, and open space areas. The project is in close proximity to retail stores, restaurants, public transportation, and existing grocery stores, all within a five-minute walk. Furthermore, the new Greeley West IB High School is just a 10-minute drive away, and highly-rated schools such as Frontier Academy K-8, Dos Rios Elementary School, Brentwood Middle School, and Chappelow Arts Magnet K-8 School are conveniently located nearby.

Greeley-Weld Habitat for Humanity has presented the Hope Springs community development model across the nation to other Habitat for Humanity affiliates seeking to significantly increase its capacity to deliver affordable housing communities in the US. Investors in the Hope Springs project include U.S. Senator Hickenlooper with a multi-million dollar CDS award, JBS USA $2M; City of Greeley/DOLA $1M; DOLA/CDOH $3M; and OXY $1M; to help fund the $14M budget for the civil construction of Hope Springs. Another $7M will need to be raised annually for the vertical construction of 50 homes for the next four years. Greeley-Weld Habitat for Humanity’s development partner Richmark Companies, who donated $8,820M in land and water for the project to Greeley-Weld Habitat, will build an additional 320 multi-family units in phase two, creating over 491 housing units in the Hope Springs Community. When fully developed, over $100 million in land development and new construction will be reinvested in Weld County through the Hope Springs Project. Not only will it provide affordable housing to those in need, but it will also act as a catalyst for economic growth in the area.

Thank you to our generous community partners who are making dreams come true!

Projects like Hope Springs are experiencing historically high costs to develop. Greeley-Weld Habitat’s infrastructure costs for the project are estimated to be around 14 million. Richmark donated land and water for the project which is valued at $8.8 million, and the project has received other financial support such as $13.5 million in private activity bonds from Weld County, $2.57 million from U.S. Senator John Hickenlooper’s district budget, a $2 million donation from JBS and a $990,000 grant from DOLA CDOH. Habitat has raised more than half of the capital needed for the infrastructure construction of the largest Habitat development in Colorado. This is an incredible milestone, and we sincerely appreciate the generous support from our current Hope Springs partners.

However, more funding is needed for this massive affordable housing project. When built out, over 100 million of land development and new construction dollars will be reinvested in Weld County through Hope Springs. What a tremendous investment opportunity for our community. Hope Springs families and community members will have the opportunity to thrive and build self-reliance, stability, and security in their lives. Will you join us in supporting this innovative, life-changing community for Northern Colorado?
