Fading West is partnered with Rural Homes in a pilot project to build new workforce housing in rural Colorado.  Rural Homes integrates donated land, modular home design, and low-cost construction financing to provide housing to our region’s essential workforce: teachers, medical professionals, immigrants, and federal employees that earn between 60-120% of Area Median Income (AMI). 

Rural Homes aim to inform and refine a model that minimizes the cost of building single-family homes to be replicated and scaled across rural Colorado addressing vital determinants of public health and long-term economic sustainability in the region.  The development consists of 24 single-family homes with a mix of attached and detached options.  Homes were allocated to new home buyers through a lottery process.
