The Rocky Mountain Community Land Trust

(RMCLT) mission is to provide permanent, supportive housing for low-income families in El Paso County and the City of Colorado Springs. We do this by making an investment in properties with qualified, low-income families, significantly reducing their mortgage payments.  While our core mission is affordable homeownership, we also collaborate with other non-profit organizations to address housing needs across the community, such as transitional housing and affordable rentals.

RMCLT is also the only local HUD Housing Counseling agency providing pre-purchase workshops, Fair Housing counseling, budget counseling, credit rebuilding, foreclosure prevention, and default counseling. All of our Housing Counseling services are free.

Foot care with Colorado Visiting Nurse Association allows patients to receive preventative care and discuss their health with a medical professional. Our nurses build relationships with our foot care clinic patients. These repeat visits let us look at health changes over time, and we can provide referrals for physicians or support systems.

Reassurance+ combines comforting companionship and a delicious meal into a complete package for seniors.

Optum is a local physician-led, multi-specialty medical group, proudly serving the Pikes Peak region for over 70 years. We offer comprehensive health care services with medical and surgical specialties throughout 11 locations.  Optum is a nationally recognized leader for its pioneering work in coordinated care.

About Us

  • ABOUT US

Who Are We?



In the spring of 2010, the City of Colorado Springs was facing serious budget shortfalls, which created an uncertain future for four community centers. The city invited non-profit organizations to consider partnering with them to keep the community centers open. The Center for Strategic Ministry, a 501(c)(3) that serves as a supporting organization of Woodmen Valley Chapel, submitted a proposal to partner with the city and was awarded a management contract to operate the Westside Community Center. This management agreement is currently in place and the partnership has provided a valuable asset for the Westside neighborhood in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Volunteers from Woodmen Valley Chapel share God’s love as they provide their time and talent in meeting a variety of needs at the Center.


We dedicate this space to Dick Wolf, the man who helped craft the partnership and make the Community Center come to life.
