Review for Rocky Mountain Community Land Trust, Colorado Spgs, CO, USA
In March 2000, I became a homeowner in the Land Trust's Affordable Homeownership Program. As a young, single mother with a small son I would not have been able to purchase a home on my own. During the 10 years we have lived in our home we have been able to adopt a couple basset hounds from the local rescue, plant a garden in our own backyard every summer, and my son had his own fort/play area growing up. Just after purchasing my home I was elected to the RMCLT Board of Directors where my thoughts and opinions as a homeowner in the program were valued. I was Vice-President on the Board from 2007-2009. A position on the RMCLT Staff became open in August of 2009. My background in the Program, commitment to volunteering at the office whenever possible, and career background led me to apply for the position and complete numerous interviews. I have been the Resource Development/Community Outreach Coordinator at the Land Trust for almost a year now. Seeing how this non-profit is run as a client, board member, and now as a staff member, it never ceases to amaze me at what lengths the Land Trust is willing to go to help the families in our community!

Reach out to and help every family in our community that qualifies for the Program. Marketing the program sometimes takes a backseat to other projects, and I know there are numerous families that could qualify for their own homes if they were aware of it!

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
