According to their website, CRHDC was established in 1971. CRHDC was developed originally as part of the Colorado Migrant Council, to help with unfavorable living conditions for migrant and seasonal agriculture workers that lived in Colorado for a time. 

The organization's venture has since grown to address all types of housing needs, and to assess different building opportunities that may arise in both rural and urban communities around the state of Colorado. CRHDC, prides itself on taking on a more sustainable approach in delivering their services, by comprising new lines of businesses, that engage residents and their communities with stable housing and financial development efforts that are more suitable for different areas.

To date, CRHDC has also erected over 500 units for agriculture workers and over 300 units of budget-friendly multi- housing units across the state. 

CRHDC can offer information on counseling and education for people who are interested in owning their own homes.
