Pikes Peak Housing Network
The Colorado Springs Chamber & EDC is proud to host the Pikes Peak Housing Network (PPHN), an independent organization whose mission is to find solutions for housing affordability, access, and production in the Pikes Peak region.
Pikes Peak Housing Network was established in 2023 by a group of community leaders concerned about Colorado Springs’ lack of affordable and workforce housing for our growing workforce, families, military, and senior population.
PPHN is the only nonprofit organization accomplishing this work in Colorado, and the Colorado Springs Chamber & EDC works alongside them to ensure our businesses can grow and hire their needed workforce.
Mission
Our mission is to foster innovative and collaborative solutions that advance housing affordability, access, and production in the Pikes Peak Region.
Guiding Principles
