Redtail Ponds Development

To achieve the next major goal of the Homeward 2020 Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness, FCHA and partners will develop Northern Colorado’s first Permanent Supportive Housing program using best practice models proven effective throughout the country. Permanent supportive housing is an innovative and proven solution to some of communities' toughest problems. It combines affordable housing with services that help people who face the most complex challenges to live with stability, autonomy and dignity. It strengthens communities and helps promote independence for people with disabilities and other special needs.

The FCHA Redtail Ponds development will be a mixed-income community with 40 units for formerly homeless individuals and 20 units for individuals earning up to 50% of the Area Median Income. Each independent apartment will feature a full kitchen and bathroom. Supportive services will include case management, lifestyle coaching, and/or therapeutic services and will empower and equip residents with the skills needed to live with greater self-determination and independence.

NEW! There is a new site location for Redtail Ponds. Please see the map for updated information.
