Neighborhood Revitalization

Neighborhood Revitalization seeks to respond to community aspirations in partnership with residents, businesses, area agencies and groups to improve quality of life in the focus neighborhood of the Glens of Dacono. St. Vrain Habitat adopted the Neighborhood Revitalization Program in 2015. St. Vrain Habitat completes Home Repairs in partnership with low-income homeowners in the Glens and supports a resident-led Coalition, The Pride of the Glens.

Critical Home Repairs improve safety, accessibility, independence, economic stability and social connections for vulnerable populations and older adults aging in place. The Critical Home Repair program has partnered with 27 low-income senior homeowners in the Glens to improve safety, accessibility, and durability of their homes.

The Pride of the Glens engages a diverse and dedicated group of residents who care deeply about their community and are willing to take on leadership roles to create the changes they seek. Resources and training are provided to develop a collective impact model that promotes equitable, inclusive, and diverse leadership. Annual Work Plan priorities for 2023 include:

• Create shared community space

• Advocate for expanded recreation opportunities for youth, language equity, traffic and speed control, community center and future growth

• Host Beautification and Community Building events

• Increase sense of community and belonging and improve access to social and support services for elderly and vulnerable populations

• Develop a sustainability plan for the Coalition
