Colorado Nonprofit Association

Chief Executive Officer

Colorado Village Collaborative (CVC) is seeking their next Chief Executive Officer (CEO). CVC exists to bridge the gap between the streets (homelessness) and stable housing by creating and operating transformational housing communities. CVC delivers innovative and effective solutions to homelessness: shelter that centers human dignity, empowerment of marginalized voices, and design solutions that are affordable, sustainable, and community oriented. Recognizing that traditional shelter settings may be challenging for individuals who have experienced prolonged homelessness, CVC emphasizes the importance of providing environments that prioritize autonomy and balance shelter with supportive services. Through shelter solutions that were created in partnership with people experiencing homelessness, including Micro-Communities, Tiny Home Villages, and Safe Outdoor Spaces, CVC continues to demonstrate their commitment to innovation and is poised to serve more people experiencing unsheltered homelessness in Denver and beyond.
