In the heart of Colorado’s historic high country

The towns of Cripple Creek and its neighboring City of Victor were once the heartbeat of the Gold Rush—mining towns where hardworking families built lives from dust and dreams.

Rooted in Community. Focused on Home.

About Us

Gold Camp Housing Partner

Known as the “Gold Camp,” this region was shaped by the belief that with courage and grit, anyone could strike it rich and secure a better future. 

But as the mines grew into one and the economy evolved, a new challenge emerged: the growing need for affordable, stable housing for the very people who keep these towns moving—families, seniors, and workers.

That’s where Gold Camp Housing Partners comes in. 

Founded by the City of Cripple Creek and serving both Southern Teller County and adjacent communities like Victor, Gold Camp Housing Partners was created to ensure that the legacy of opportunity continues—not just through history, but through housing. Today, that means creating rental and homeownership options for households earning up to 120% of the Area Median Income (AMI) supporting everyone from service workers to young families and retirees.

What makes the Gold Camp region especially powerful is its connectivity:

Cripple Creek offers door-to-door busing and is walkable to jobs, schools, grocery stores, medical services, and recreation. That means residents don’t just find a home they find a lifestyle built around access, safety, and community.

By developing housing options that are attainable and designed for long-term stability, Gold Camp Housing Partners is helping residents build something even more precious than gold: generational wealth. Homeownership, financial security, and the ability to stay rooted in the community are all pieces of that legacy.
