Reflecting on our FutureNovember is Native American Heritage Month, and as we reflect on our culture, we also look to the future and how we can continue to make a difference in our community. In partnership with Mercy Housing, Native American Housing Circle, and Wellpower, we are developing affordable and supportive housing co-located with a health clinic at 901 Navajo Street in Denver. It will be the first housing development in the Denver metro area focused on serving our Native community. Our clinic will occupy 18,000 square feet, and we will have case management to assist with housing for the development. On Friday, November 22, 2024, we were deeply honored to participate in a significant land blessing ceremony. This sacred event, steeped in our cultural traditions, demonstrated our profound respect and appreciation for the land on which our future clinic and community will stand. We sought blessings of abundance and protection, reinforcing our commitment to the well-being of our future home. As we look ahead to the future of 901 Navajo, this marks a significant and unique opportunity to enhance the healthcare of our people. Never have our local Native organizations, or even our local government, come together with such a shared commitment to provide this vital service for our community in the Denver area. This is a testament to the value and importance we place on each and every member of our community. We are excited to share that we are on track to close on the property in early December, marking a significant milestone in our journey. With construction expected to be completed in late 2026, we are eagerly anticipating the transformation of 901 Navajo into a vibrant hub for our community. We're excited to invite you to support our $10 million capital campaign for 901 Navajo! Please share this opportunity with your friends and family. Donations can be made through Colorado Gives, and until December 10th, every contribution will be boosted by a $1 million incentive fund, giving us a chance to win over $100,000 in prizes for DIHFS. Donations can be made any time after this, but this is a great time to maximize your impact! As November comes to a close, we are committed to our mission and supporting our community. Your support truly makes a difference! Wishing you and your families all the best!
