New Affordable Housing Now Open in Saguache

(Saguache, Colo.) – A new affordable housing development supported with Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) is now open in Saguache, Colorado. Range View, a public-private partnership between Saguache County and Northwest Real Estate Capital Corp. (Northwest), will celebrate its ribbon cutting on September 17 th at 1:00 PM. Upon completion, Range View will offer 32 new units with affordable rents for individuals and families. Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA) awarded $1,340,823 in LIHTC and $700,000 in state tax credits to support the development. QUOTE FROM CHFA REPRESENTATIVE Range View is situated on land owned by Saguache County Housing Authority, which is 4 blocks from Mountain Valley School and near the Saguache Downtown Historic District as well as other local amenities. Range View also offers a Resident Services Plan developed by Northwest’s Stepping Stones program. These free services will be based on the residents’ unique needs and facilitated through partnerships with community-based organizations. QUOTE FROM SAGUACHE COUNTY REPRESENTATIVE Range View will help meet a great need for affordable rental housing in Saguache. Currently, the only other affordable housing properties in Saguache have zero vacancies. Range View will offer one-, two-, and three-bedroom housing units for households with incomes at 30 to 60 percent of the Area Median Income, which in Saguache County, currently ranges from $23,400 to $46,800 in annual gross income for a two-person household. “Range View is the result of the strong partnership with CHFA, Saguache County, and the Saguache County Housing Authority. Affordable housing is vitally important to the health of every community, and we are proud to offer this new housing opportunity in Saguache,” said John Vance, Vice President Development Group at Northwest. Range View opened its doors on August 31 st and is actively working to lease its remaining units.
