Development
Socially Conscious Community Development
Maiker Housing Partners works in partnership with the community to invest in opportunities that will increase housing affordability. Through these efforts, we transform physical spaces to facilitate community building.
Development Participation Policy
Per Colorado statute, private and public sector developers developing housing for persons who are low income can partner with Maiker to receive State property tax exemption. Because Maiker has limited staff and financial resources, it is necessary to establish the procedures and criteria that Maiker staff will use to evaluate and recommend proposals submitted by Developers to the Maiker Board. This information can be found in the Development Participation Policy.
Current Projects
Verrbena
The Uplands affordable housing project in Westminster is officially moving forward under its new name: Verrbena. This development is a 70-unit community rooted in sustainability and designed with neuro-inclusive living at its heart. Verrbena will become Colorado’s first residential development to voluntarily incorporate The Kelsey Inclusive Design Standards, expanding opportunity and belonging for residents with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The name pays tribute to Adams County Commissioner Eva Henry, whose unwavering leadership in housing, equity and community has shaped Maiker’s work. It also draws inspiration from the verbena flower, long associated with resilience, healing and transformation which are qualities reflected in the lives and stories of Maiker members.
Verrbena is a community built for connection, dignity and the chance for every neighbor to thrive.
