About High Plains Housing Development Corp.

High Plains Housing Development Corp. is a real estate operator. High Plains Housing Development Corp. operates in Fort Collins-Greeley, Colorado. Its investment focus is on Affordable Housing, LIHTC and Senior Housing.

High Plains Housing Development Corp. was founded in 1994 by community leaders from the City of Greeley, Weld County, and United Way of Weld County to prevent deterioration in low‑income areas and support low‑to‑moderate income households through affordable housing strategies. It operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and holds designation as a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) under Colorado’s Department of Local Affairs. In its early years, under the Greeley/Weld Housing Authority umbrella, it developed three tax‑credit properties totaling 64 housing units serving very low‑income seniors and families; these units remain active more than 20 years later. Currently, High Plains owns and manages these 64 units across three locations in Weld County. Today, the organization focuses on developing small‑scale Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) and workforce housing aimed at extremely low‑income households (30–50% of area median income) and chronically homeless individuals—needs often unmet by larger for‑profit developers. Its flagship project, StarRise Apartments at North Weld Village, includes 58 units of supportive housing for chronically homeless individuals, with future phases adding approximately 90 additional very‑low‑income units.
