Congressman Perlmutter Visits Fifty Eight Hundred
August 21, 2019
We recently had the opportunity to host Representative Ed Perlmutter and several Executive Directors from local Housing Authorities for a tour of Fifty Eight Hundred, our newest LIHTC affordable housing community. Representative Perlmutter was impressed with the stunning mountain views from the Rooftop Deck, the various murals lining the walls, and the example that Fifty Eight Hundred sets for excellent, high-quality affordable housing.
The visit also included a discussion surrounding affordable housing after the tour's conclusion. It was a fascinating, productive, and inspiring conversation as participants discussed how local Housing Authorities and elected representatives can continue to work together to provide safe, attainable, affordable housing to communities in the Denver metro area. We appreciate all the work from all parties involved!
