The Bentley Commons Development Project
We are excited to announce that the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA) has awarded State Affordable Housing Tax Credits to GPR Properties to expand the Bentley Commons Apartments from 24 to 192 affordable housing units.
The property is located on 7 acres in Southeast Colorado Springs, near Hancock and Astrozon, and has been successfully operated by the 3 nonprofits since 2009. Since 1999, Greccio Housing, Partners in Housing, and Rocky Mountain Community Land Trust have provided housing stability for people with low incomes in Colorado Springs through various partnerships and as independent nonprofit housing providers.
The expansion will include 168 new units across 6 buildings, renovation of the existing 24 units originally built in 2005, and reconfiguration of the community center and outdoor recreation areas.
The housing continuum is represented through various “GPR Properties” entities, providing transitional housing, affordable rentals, and affordable homeownership opportunities to individuals and families with modest incomes. Commitment to the partnership and the expansion of Bentley Commons has long been a stabilizing force in southeast Colorado Springs, and will soon serve additional families with children, singles, veterans, and those in transitional housing units. While others have joined to address the growing housing needs in our area, the partners of GPR are proud of our continuing our locally-based and long-term commitment to the people and community of Colorado Springs.
