In the heart of Colorado, indieDwell, a company dedicated to revolutionizing the housing market, finds itself facing financial challenges. However, amidst these difficulties, there’s a determined effort underway to rebrand the business and, most importantly, provide much-needed employment opportunities for the residents of Pueblo, particularly those who deserve a second chance in life.

Pueblo District Court has witnessed the mounting civil lawsuits against indieDwell, raising concerns about the company’s financial stability. One lawsuit alleges a breach of contract with Habitat for Humanity of Archuleta County, claiming a significant sum of $109,000 in damages. Another suit demands payment of $28,000 to a lumber company, asserting unpaid bills for essential construction supplies.

Viking CarrierTo compound these issues, the CEO of one of the largest Section 8 housing providers in the country is contemplating legal action. This decision comes after indieDwell failed to refund a substantial down payment of over $600,000, which was made over a year ago. Moreover, none of the 20 homes ordered by this housing giant have been delivered as promised. Under an incentive agreement formed with the city of Pueblo and Pueblo’s Economic Development Corp. back in 2019, this housing company, headquartered in Boise, Idaho, pledged to create 170 jobs in Pueblo upon reaching full manufacturing capacity.
The journey to bring indieDwell to Pueblo involved the collaborative efforts of approximately eight partners, each sharing a common vision. These partners include the Colorado Health Foundation, the Colorado Trust, and Gary Community Ventures. What united these organizations was indieDwell’s innovative factory-built approach and unwavering commitment to making homeownership an attainable dream for those who have been marginalized by the housing market.
Despite the financial hardships indieDwell currently faces, there is hope on the horizon. The rebranding efforts and the determination to fulfill their commitments to partners and the Pueblo community have never been stronger. With the support of various stakeholders and a renewed focus on their core mission, indieDwell remains a beacon of hope for Pueblo residents, offering the promise of a brighter future, stable employment, and affordable housing opportunities.
