Tri-County Housing & Community Development Corporation is a nonprofit organization serving Bent, Crowley, and Otero Counties, an area of 3,579 square miles in rural southeast Colorado. Tri-County Housing, which has its primary office in Fowler, has established a satellite office in the SCORE Center.
Tri-County Housing, Inc., was formed in early 1991 under an inter-government agreement between six entities within Bent, Crowley, and Otero Counties, Colorado. The original organization was a department of the Town of Fowler. Tri-County Housing provided administrative and construction consulting services for low-income housing rehabilitation with the goal of improving the safety and sanitary living conditions of those in the area.
In January of 1995, the advisory board elected to re-form as a nonprofit. The evolution of Tri-County has prompted a recent name change to Tri-County Housing and Community Development Corporation. Tri-County Housing & CDC is now governed by a board of 16, comprised of city, town, and county government representative; community residents; and members of the financial/business community.
