2011 Events


June 28 & 30,2011--McCoy Patio Cover

RMCLT volunteers spent a weekend helping a family fighting cancer.  Chemo and radiation treatments are causing sun sensitivity, so RMCLT built a patio cover for the south-west facing patio.  With the help of our volunteers we were able to help the family enjoy the outdoors!

Monday July 18,2011-- Woodmen Vistas Landscaping Day!

El Paso Corporation volunteers helped landscape the yards of two brand-new, single family homes sold to low-income families through our program. Our overall objective for Landscaping Day was to ensure that our homeowners are able to successfully maintain the property they just purchased. We understand that families we help are low-income and do not have the funds available to landscape around a new home, install a fence, or even install blinds. We provide our families a complete package when they purchase a home developed by the Land Trust.

August 5-21, 2011-- Parade of Homes!

Rocky Mountain Community Land Trust was pleased to be invited by Colorado Springs Housing and Building Association to participate in the 2011 Parade of Homes.

The Parade of Homes is a great way to tour beautiful homes from our area’s best builders.  The homes showcase quality community design, interior design, landscape design, home furnishings, and building technology.

This year, we were proud to partner with Challenger Homes to build the RMCLT Parade Home in Woodmen Vistas.  Additionally, our neighbors, Keller Homes in Cumbre Vistas and Habitat for Humanity in Woodmen Vistas, were also in this year’s Parade.
