| Trinidad State Junior College intends to use its Hispanic-Serving Institutions Assisting Communities (HSIAC) grant to rehabilitate a building in downtown Trinidad, Colorado, which will house Las Animas County’s first Community Development Resource Center. The 4,169-square-foot facility will create a “one-stop shop” for individuals looking to start their own business, create a business plan, discover affordable housing opportunities, receive housing and/or business counseling, or attend a workshop. The center will provide business resources to low- and moderate-income and minority populations seeking economic development assistance, housing assistance, and resource development assistance. The project will directly address the lack of business resources, low educational attainment, old housing stock, and high levels of poverty in the community.
