Our Team
Over 50% of the founders of the Colorado Village Collaborative were people with direct and recent experience of life on the streets. We are committed to a collective leadership approach that ensures that those directly impacted by the housing crisis are involved in the development of the programs and solutions that provide pathways out of the crisis.

In loving memory…
Rhonda Romero
Rhonda was passionate about building community and taking care of people. She was one of the founding residents of Beloved Community Village. She was living along the banks of the South Platte River when construction began at Beloved Community Village and showed up to volunteer every day during the construction process. Within three months of moving into Beloved Community Village, she found housing in her own apartment, where she lived until she passed away in September 2019 surrounded by her biological and village families.
