Homeowner Contest Winners Announced
To celebrate its 50th anniversary and to recognize National Homeownership Month in June, CHFA invited CHFA homeowners to share how owning a home has shaped or influenced their life story along with an accompanying photo. After reviewing more than 145 entries, five winners were selected and announced in August. Their stories and photos are featured on CHFA’s website. The winners will receive a free home mortgage payment or $1,000 applied toward their CHFA mortgage, whichever is greater.
“Homeownership has been a blessing for our family to create stability, opportunity, and joy,” said Luke, a CHFA homeowner and contest winner who lives in Grand Junction. “We could not be more thankful for CHFA helping us to realize our dreams.”
