Our Partnership with

Neighborhood Revitalization started as an initiative by Habitat for Humanity International in 2010 in an effort to serve more families in a holistic way through building communities. Since then, the program has successfully spread to over 260 of the 1500 Habitat affiliates in the United States, serving over 60% of U.S. families served by Habitat.

Out of over 1,000 affiliates, Habitat for Humanity of the St. Vrain Valley was one of the 10 affiliates to be chosen to participate in a learning cohort with Habitat for Humanity International. In 2015, St. Vrain Habitat adopted the Neighborhood Revitalization program and chose to partner with a neighborhood in Dacono known as the Glens.

​

Habitat's Neighborhood Revitalization work follows the guidelines provided in the Quality of Life Framework, a data-driven and customizable approach developed by Habitat and vetted by community development experts to help to improve neighborhoods. The framework focuses on first understanding the concerns of the residents and then empowering these residents to lead the projects they want to see. 

​

Alongside Habitat, residents work with churches, schools, new and longstanding neighborhood coalitions, local government and other community partners to achieve their goals.
