Building America prioritizes projects with a housing component encouraging mixed-use, community focused development.
For example, the Stout Street project, sponsored by the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless (CCH), included construction of an expanded replacement facility for the Stout Street Health Center in a condominium building that also includes 78 units of affordable supportive housing. The co-location of the expanded Health Center and supportive housing allows CCH to provide housing for homeless individuals with chronic health and mental health conditions who have continuing medical needs that prevent them from successfully maintaining housing stability.
