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:
Create new affordable housing through direct home construction
Support affordable housing development by providing leveraging funds to partners
Communicate local housing information, progress and challenges to foster a shared understanding of complex topics
Advocate for data-driven housing solutions that balance local needs and income levels
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.
