A Community Housing Vision in Action

The Foot in the Door Fund | Help fUc–CO Launch Our First Community Housing Project

We have the vision. The LLC. The name that makes people look twice—and a plan that makes them believe.

fUc–CO (Functional Utility Community – Colorado) is a woman-founded, Colorado-grown startup transforming forgotten lots into affordable, high-design housing built for real people. We don’t flip for profit—we flex for community.

Now we just need one thing: a foot in the door.

What This Campaign Supports:

Your donation will help launch our first pilot site in Colorado Springs, covering:

Site prep & permitting

Architectural planning

Hiring a project assistant

Hosting our first neighborhood listening session

Finalizing city partnerships

Legal + branding development

And the first real step toward a livable, lovable Fillmore Block

Why Now?

The City of Colorado Springs is actively seeking bold, community-led housing solutions. We’re stepping up. But big ideas need seed money—and grassroots movements need you.

Let’s fUc this city up nicely—with belonging, beauty, and local pride.

Let’s Build This. Together.

This isn’t charity—it’s change.

Let’s show Colorado that we’re not just Built to Belong—we’re ready to rebuild what belongs to us.
