We’re proud to share that Evergreen’s VP of Development, Western Region, Javonni Butler, is featured in the June issue of Building Dialogue, distributed with the Colorado Real Estate Journal.

The article highlights challenges facing both urban and rural markets, innovative housing solutions, and how public-private partnerships can help create more attainable housing opportunities.

At Evergreen, we know that where you live shapes how you feel.

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re reminded that home should be a place of comfort, stability, and peace. A space where individuals and families can reset, feel supported, and truly be themselves.

Creating communities that foster connection and well-being isn’t just part of what we do, it’s why we do it.

Because when people feel safe, valued, and at home, that’s when transformation begins.

A great day at Linden House of Hobart!

Our Spring Cleaning event was a huge success, bringing residents together for an afternoon focused on wellness, independence, and community. A special thank you to Wellcare for sponsoring the event and providing essential supplies like laundry items, household cleaners, paper products, and more.

Wellcare’s supplies help ensure our residents can maintain a clean and healthy home.

Residents enjoyed interactive games like The Price is Right, sparking conversations around smart shopping and budgeting, followed by a fun round of Jeopardy centered on household upkeep and personal hygiene.

Moments like these are what One Evergreen is all about. Creating supportive, engaging spaces where our communities can thrive together. 💚
