Chief Executive Officer
NPAG, Denver, Colorado, United States, 80285
Colorado Village Collaborative (CVC)
is seeking their next Chief Executive Officer (CEO) . CVC exists to bridge the gap between the streets (homelessness) and stable housing by creating and operating transformational housing communities. CVC delivers innovative and effective solutions to homelessness: shelter that centers human dignity, empowerment of marginalized voices, and design solutions that are affordable, sustainable, and community oriented. Recognizing that traditional shelter settings may be challenging for individuals who have experienced prolonged homelessness, CVC emphasizes the importance of providing environments that prioritize autonomy and balance shelter with supportive services.
