Housing That Lasts: East Colfax Community Collective Case Study

East Colfax Community Collective (EC3) is a grassroots organization working to stabilize rents and prevent displacement in Denver’s East Colfax neighborhood—a historically diverse community facing rapid change. EC3 partnered with the national nonprofit Trust Neighborhoods to establish Colorado’s first Mixed-Income Neighborhood Trust (MINT)—a resident-centered model designed to preserve affordability and shift decision-making power to the community. In September 2024, EC3 purchased 1371 Xenia, which is home to some of the neighborhood’s most vulnerable residents. Immediately after closing, EC3 and a resident-led stewardship committee identified urgent repair priorities. Within months they replaced the roof and heating system, installed energy-efficient appliances, and addressed long-deferred maintenance. EC3 is now planning for five to 10-year capital needs, building replacement reserves, and reinvesting operating income to ensure long-term viability.
