Type and Scope of services to be performed:

This funding contract relates to the affordable mixed-use development at Viña, located at 4725 High St. (48th and Race), an exciting first phase of a six-acre development that will deliver affordable housing, fresh food, and expanded healthcare to the Globeville and Elyria-Swansea neighborhoods. Nonprofit health provider Cliníca Tepeyac will be the ground-level commercial space.

 

In 2016 DEDO granted Tepeyac Community Health Center (TCHC) a $1,050,000 fifteen-year forgivable loan with CDBG funds that supported the acquisition of the ground-level portion of 4725 High St. Now as the project has secured its funding stack as shown below, DEDO is supporting design and development costs with $500,000 of regular CDBG funds as well as $500,000 of regular CDBG-CV funds (in a separate contract).

 

Tepeyac QALICB, Inc. is an affiliate of Cliníca Tepeyac, Inc. formed in 2020 as Tepeyac Qualified Active Low-Income Community Business, Inc.
