Mercy Housing Mountain Plains
Mercy Housing Mountain Plains (MHMP) residents are the reason we work hard to bring affordable housing solutions to those most in need across our region. With the increasing demand for affordable housing, our development pipeline is strong as we work with partners, residents, and communities to answer the need. Whether we are breaking ground on a brand-new affordable housing community, upgrading an already existing community, or welcoming residents to their new homes, MHMP is committed to bringing service-enriched housing to the communities we serve.
The Rose on Colfax combines housing with childcare and brings service-enriched housing to a neighborhood with a shortage of childcare and affordable homes.

Meet April
When she was 19, April lost her father and grandparents in an accident. The tragedy turned her life upside down, and she moved to Colorado from Canada to be near her sisters. It wasn’t long before she fell in love and got married. Her life was perfect. They owned a beautiful home, she was going back to school, and they were making plans for the future.
Her perfect life fell apart when her husband got lost to drugs and alcohol and she found herself without a home.
“I spent a year in a homeless shelter before transitioning here. I literally came here with nothing.”
April received an autism diagnosis while finishing up her associate degree. “It explains so much,” she laughs. “I majored in psychology because I never understood people, and they didn’t understand me.” April kept working toward her goals. “I took the bus to school. An hour and a half there, and an hour and a half back. It was a rough semester.”
Today, April is thriving at the Aromor in Denver. She saved up enough money to buy a vehicle, and loves to visit her niece.
“A couple of the ladies here even call me for a ride, and I like that. I like helping my neighbors.”
