Enterprise Community Partners Receives $300,000 Grant From KeyBank To Support the Rocky Mountain Resilience Program

DENVER, June 5, 2025 /3BL/ — KeyBank has awarded a $300,000 grant to Enterprise Community Partners (Enterprise) to help disadvantaged households in Colorado and Utah remain safely, stably and affordably housed through low-income housing options that are healthy and sustainable. 

The KeyBank grant builds on the momentum of Enterprise's Rocky Mountain Resilience Academy, expanding hands-on support for housing partners in Colorado and Utah to advance their development and organizational goals. It will also help affordable housing providers access new federal, state, and local funding—positioning them to launch projects that reduce carbon emissions and boost community resilience. 

“Enterprise’s mission is to make home and community​​ places of pride, power and belonging, and platforms for resilience and upward mobility for all,” said Chris Picardi, KeyBank Colorado market president. “This mission aligns perfectly with KeyBank’s vision of investing to protect the environment, and we are honored to support this program with our grant.” 

The Rocky Mountain Resilience Academy – initially launched in 2023– offers affordable housing owners and operators access to training, tools, peer learning, technical assistance, and grants needed to achieve their program goals.

“Low-income and historically under-resourced communities are hit hardest by energy burdens and climate events. If we don’t act now to make affordable housing more resilient and energy-efficient, these families will face rising costs and housing instability,” Enterprise VP and Rocky Mountain Market Leader Jennie Rodgers said. “This grant provides affordable housing providers much-needed support to protect the health and wellbeing of their residents and communities.”
