Celebrating 35 Years of Impact
In 2026, Partners in Housing proudly marks 35 years of service, celebrating a journey that began in 1991 with a simple but powerful belief: that stable housing is the foundation for stronger individuals, families, and communities.
For more than three decades, Partners in Housing has worked alongside donors, partners, and volunteers to provide housing stability, supportive services, and opportunities for people to build lasting independence. What started as a vision has grown into a trusted organization rooted in compassion, accountability, and community connection.
As we reflect on 35 years of progress, we honor the resilience of the families we serve, the dedication of our staff and volunteers, and the unwavering support of our partners and donors who have made this work possible.
This anniversary is not just a milestone- it’s a moment to recommit to the work ahead. Together, we look forward to the next chapter of creating pathways to stability, self-reliance, and prosperity.

So those five apartments are what we started with, with five families. Now you're over 100 families being served [a year]. Over 30 years, 4,000 families, 10,000 children..."

"From a lot of 1993, 1994, our effort was in expanding our agency so that we could serve more folks, but we wanted to own everything. We wanted the community to know that we were there for the long haul, not the short run. And the way to that I felt was to show that we were investing in the community on a full-time, long-range basis."

Partners in Housing acquires five HUD homes!
These homes had been leased to Partners in Housing for use in our program, but we were excited to move forward in acquiring them!
Along with a grant back from HUD, funding from the City of Colorado Springs, and the State of Colorado Division of Housing, the five homes were added to the Partners in Housing inventory for long-term support of the community.
