Who we are
The Valley Housing Fund (VHF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2010 by Gunnison Valley residents in response to a growing concern about home affordability.
VHF envisions meeting the needs of our community through diverse community housing projects at both ends of the valley that combine the skills and resources of the private sector, governments, nonprofits and community members.
We directly and indirectly create affordable housing through land banking, development of new homes and financial support of our partner’s projects.
Our Strategic Goals are to:
In Our Work We Value:
Partnership
VHF recognizes that no single entity or solution will solve the housing crisis, and the best approach is through partnership and cooperation.
Advocacy
Our organization believes communication plays a critical role in advocating for low and middle income residents and VHF strives to engage all segments of the community in solutions.
Sustainability
We acknowledge the environmental effects of development and make decisions about materials and construction to minimize impacts.
