About Greccio Housing
Safe. Stable. Supportive.
Our Story
Greccio Housing has a long history of providing affordable housing and resources in the Pikes Peak region. Our founder, Claudia Deats-Rodgers, had a dream of improving the quality of life for people in need of affordable rental housing and in 1990 she started to make that dream a reality with our first property, 321 N. Weber St.
What We Do
Greccio Housing is a local nonprofit that exists to create stable, safe, and supportive affordable housing options for low-income individuals and families who work and live in El Paso and Teller Counties. But that's not all we do. We also have an incredible Resources Department that works tirelessly to provide supportive services and assistance to our residents.

"To have a key, to open a door, to have a place to live, especially being disabled... These are the small things that I don't take for granted."
