About Community Resources and Housing Development
Community Resources and Housing Development Corporation makes its mark through pass-through grants that move six-figure support to housing and community-development intermediaries across the Mountain West and beyond. In 2025, its largest listed grant was $346,197 to Tierra Del Sol in Las Cruces, New Mexico, followed closely by $343,486 to Comite De Bienestar in San Luis, Arizona, both labeled pass-thru grants. The foundation’s recent giving also includes substantial support for Community Council of Idaho in Caldwell, Idaho, reinforcing a pattern of funding organizations that work with low- and moderate-income communities. Its stated purpose centers on pathways to home and asset-building opportunities, with an emphasis on safe, attainable, and sustainable housing. The recent grants list shows a mix of recurring recipients and geographically varied intermediaries, which suggests a grantmaking approach built around sustained relationships rather than isolated awards. Housing-related work appears to be the connective thread, whether the grant is directed to rural housing, farmworker housing assistance, or housing counseling and education. The foundation’s fiscal sponsorship and administrative-conduit role is a defining feature of how it deploys resources.
What Community Resources and Housing Development Funds
Affordable and attainable housing is the core of the foundation’s giving. It awarded $95,267 in 2025 to Rmser in Denver for a pass-thru grant, and had also supported the same recipient with $57,875 in 2024. Farmworker housing support appears as well: in 2024, San Luis Valley Farm Workers Housin in Center received $37,500. The grant list also points to regional housing and community-service intermediaries outside Colorado, including Guadalupe Economic Services Corp in Lubbock, which received $23,925 in 2024 and $7,950 in 2025. Those awards align with the foundation’s stated focus areas of rural housing, affordable rental housing, housing counseling and education, and financial capability or lending. Together, the grants suggest a housing-centered portfolio that uses intermediary organizations to reach specific communities and local housing systems.
How Community Resources and Housing Development Gives
Typical grant size is $34,106 at the 25th percentile, $110,984 at the median, and $264,462 at the 75th percentile, showing a spread from five-figure awards to larger pass-through commitments. The recent grant list includes multiple repeat recipients across 2024 and 2025, including Tierra Del Sol, Comite De Bienestar, Community Council of Idaho, Rmser, and Guadalupe Economic Services Corp, which points to recurring support rather than one-time awards. The foundation operates as an intermediary grantmaker and administrative/financial conduit, and it does not fund individuals. The listed awards are all pass-through grants, consistent with that structure.
