Some unhoused young people in Colorado Springs will soon have apartments to call their own through a first-of-its-kind housing project for the Pikes Peak Region.
Developers hosted a ribbon-cutting for “The Launchpad” complex on the city’s west side on Tuesday. It offers 50 apartments for youth ages 18 to 25 earning less than 30 percent of the area median income, which is about $22,000 per year. Tenants will commit to at least a one-year lease and agree to take part in onsite programs that help with job placement, life skills and health care.
