Fort Lewis College recognizes the challenges of finding affordable and reliable housing in Southwest Colorado. As of February 1, 2023, two opportunities are available to assist faculty and staff in their homeownership goals.
More programs are in progress and will be published here when available.
The FLC Board of Trustees and FLC Foundation Board each committed to providing a $500,000 investment in a mortgage down payment assistance program for a total commitment of $1,000,000.
The FLC Employee Mortgage Assistance Program (EMAP) will make these funds available to qualifying faculty and staff. EMAP's purpose is to support employees striving for homeownership in Southwest Colorado but who cannot fund the “gap” between the available housing cost and what is considered an attainable home cost. EMAP will be managed through our administration partner, the HomesFund.
