| Adams State College intends to use its grant to launch the Home Owner preparedness, including all People, for one Environment (HOPE) program. HOPE is a community-based collaborative project designed to increase economic and housing affordability to youth, provide job training for people with disabilities, and organizing the community around environmental opportunities. HOPE entails three separate, but related programs: the "Financial Development" program is aimed at providing youth with financial skills in order to better their chances of obtaining higher education and homeownership. The "Ability" program works with disabled individuals who want to learn life, job, and business skills. The "Eco-org" project supports green industry, job development, and community organizing around environmental issues. All activities involve education and training related to economic and community asset development.
