West End Health Center
Colorado Coalition for the Homeless (CCH) offers medical, educational and housing services in urban and rural communities in Colorado. LIIF provided CCH with financing for the West End Health Center, a 7,400-square-foot health center co-located with a 101-unit mixed-use affordable housing development in Denver. The 100% affordable housing development includes 50 supportive housing units for homeless individuals and families. The new clinic will cater to the 50 supportive units as well as families in the surrounding low income community. The clinic is projected to employ eight full-time employees and serve 1,200 Medicaid-qualified clients in its first year. The West End Health Center will offer a host of services including primary health care, mental health care, substance treatment counseling, pharmacy and nursing services and patient education. CCH will also provide onsite counselors and case managers for the tenants of the 50 supportive units in the housing development. LIIF’s financing, which included credit enhancement from the Capital Magnet Fund, is helping CCH complete the build out of the health clinic.
