Why it Matters
A Community Anchor in a Rapidly Changing Neighborhood
Mosaic Community Campus is located at the edge of Denver’s East Colfax neighborhood, a vibrant and diverse area that has become increasingly unaffordable. As real estate prices rise, many long-time residents are at risk of being displaced. Mosaic helps combat this by offering affordable housing and vital community services, all while preserving the campus’s historic buildings.

Backstory
Campus to Community: A Bold Transformation
ULC, Denver Public Schools, and Denver Housing Authority joined forces in 2021 to purchase the former Johnson & Wales University campus at the edge of the South Park Hill and East Colfax neighborhoods. ULC owns more than half of the 25-acre campus, and stewards ULC-owned land in its community land trust to ensure permanent affordability and community-serving uses. ULC’s acquisition was funded by MDIF.
