Building Community. Inspiring Change. Housing Catalyst transforms neighborhoods while providing stable homes for families. We know building a better life and pursuing opportunity begins with having a place to live, and Housing Catalyst has provided thousands of Fort Collins families with affordable homes since 1971. We pride ourselves on being a mission-driven real estate developer at the leading edge of affordable housing, forging public-private partnerships to build a stronger community. The demand for housing that is affordable is higher than ever, with only 2% local rental vacancy rates. Investing in affordable housing has numerous benefits for the local economy — it creates jobs, boosts family incomes and encourages business growth. As Fort Collins’ most established affordable housing developer, Housing Catalyst is actively moving the region forward with healthy communities that offer more than just a place to live. We work to create communities built on a sense of pride and belonging while also enriching neighborhoods with inspiring designs and amenities. Housing is the Catalyst After 45 years of serving our community as the Fort Collins Housing Authority, we developed a new identity to better reflect our mission and capabilities. Our new name, Housing Catalyst, highlights our work as a catalyst for positive change in the region. We create vibrant, sustainable communities. We seek opportunities to revitalize local neighborhoods. We are reinventing how people access, experience and perceive affordable housing. We invite you to visit our new website, HousingCatalyst.com, to discover the many ways Housing Catalyst serves residents, neighbors and community members, business partners, investors and our community’s best interests.
