On Thursday, June 18th 2026, from 4-5 pm, Pam Francil with CHFA, Minde Harper with Guild Mortgage, and Ty Smith, a person with a disability, now a Benefits Planner and his journey to homeownership!

We know many of us feel like owning is impossible, and for some of us who have tried giving up after being laughed at, but I'm here to say it's not impossible; it is a journey, but it can be something to work towards!

Come join us, build that dream, make your life what you want it to be!

Denver made disability rights history.

In 1978, a group known as the “Gang of 19” took to the streets of downtown Denver. After being denied access to public buses, they blocked traffic with their wheelchairs and demanded change, chanting “We will ride.”

That act of civil disobedience led to real impact: accessible buses in Denver and momentum for a national movement that helped shape disability rights across the country, including the eventual passage of the ADA.

At Atlantis Community, Inc., we’re proud to continue this legacy of advocacy, independence, and inclusion right here in Denver.
