CMHA History

Established in 1987, the Carbondale Housing Authority created Crystal Meadows in Carbondale, Colorado, to address the pressing need for affordable housing in the region. Initially founded as a response to the housing crisis, it has since evolved into a vital institution dedicated to providing sustainable, community-centric housing solutions.
