Clara Brown Commons
Clara Brown Commons is one of many projects representing Jirsa Hedrick’s efforts to give back to the Denver community. The community’s vision is summarized as: “Clara Brown Commons promotes belonging for residents and neighbors by creating a safe and caring community where we can stabilize our lives, expand our economic capacity, and deepen spiritual connectedness.” Due to the project’s important efforts to aid low income residents in the area, the project won the 2023 Metro Vision Award from the Denver Regional Council of Governments.
The building is a 4-story apartment complex with approximately 60 units intended for women and transgender residents experiencing homelessness.
