On September 4, 2020, a federal executive order was enacted through the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) ordering a halt on evictions nationwide through December for people who have lost work during the pandemic and do not have other safe housing options. While Maiker joins our colleagues in the housing arena in celebrating this historic action, we know it is only a temporary solution to a much larger housing crisis that has been apparent for many years and will only worsen in the future.

Maiker Housing Partners Breaks Ground on Affordable Housing Project in Unincorporated Adams County

Maiker Housing Partners recently broke ground on the Caraway, a multi-family, mixed-income affordable housing project. The official groundbreaking ceremony took place virtually on Friday, August 28 at 10:00 a.m. If you missed the livestream, you can watch it on our Facebook page here.

The project, located in unincorporated Adams County just north of Highway 36 at the I-25 interchange, will repurpose the former Children and Family Services building into 44 units with an additional 72 units added on. This is the first opportunity Maiker has had to adaptively reuse an existing building.

The Caraway is scheduled to be completed in 2021 and will serve households making between 30 and 70 percent of the area median income. Of the units available, 12 will be reserved for youth aging out of foster care as a way to address the high risk of homelessness these youth face.
