Mountain Housing Assistance builds, manages, and stewards affordable and workforce housing for Colorado's mountain communities — designed with integrity, built to last.
Established in 2013, Mountain Housing Assistance creates integrated, mixed-income communities — combining workforce housing, federally funded affordable housing, local housing assistance, market-rate homes, and mixed-use commercial space — each one strategically designed to support the values of the community it serves.
Nederland, Colorado — the mountain town Bobcat Ridge is built to serve.
Nederland's rental vacancy is currently estimated near 3% — a highly compressed market with limited options across every income band.
Colorado ranks 48th in the nation for housing affordability — near the worst — and is the third-most-expensive state to live overall.
With the Town of Nederland's recent acquisition of Eldora Mountain Resort, the workforce-housing question is no longer hypothetical — it is operational.
Founded in 2013, MHA brings thirteen years of community engagement, design, study, and partnership to every project it advances.
Eighteen acres adjacent to the Town of Nederland. A six-parcel plan designed with the community, ten years in the making, and ready to move — pending annexation and the right partner.
Bobcat Ridge weaves together a 6,000 SF early-childhood education center, 22 housing-assistance apartments, 18 LIHTC-eligible affordable apartments, 40 market-rate townhomes, a preserved old-growth conservation forest, and a multi-use pedestrian path along Eldora Road — the forest and the path each offered to the Town of Nederland for one dollar, as separate conveyances.
Bobcat Ridge in context — connecting Nederland Middle/High School, the downtown area, and the extensive West Magnolia trails system.
We are actively seeking a partnership with the Town of Nederland on the Bobcat Ridge project, and we welcome conversations with Boulder County, qualified developers, housing-mission investors, and residents who want to help.
