Award Recipients
At the March 13, 2024 Board of Commissioners Meeting, we recognized the following partners for going above and beyond to make a difference in the lives of BHP residents and the Boulder community.
Individual & Non-Profit Agency: Chris Jenkins, The Tantra Condominiums Association
Chris Jenkins, President of The Tantra Condominium Association, has demonstrated exemplary leadership within the greater Tantra Lake neighborhood. He has gone above and beyond to foster a strong connection and collaboration between our communities. He actively engaged with BHP staff and residents, contributing to a welcoming and inclusive neighborhood atmosphere. Through his partnership and advocacy, he has raised awareness about the benefits and importance of integrating affordable housing into the broader community. His leadership was invaluable during the recent Tantra Lake Apartments renovation. He served as a helpful partner, respectful neighbor, and advocate for affordable housing integration.
Chris consistently seeks ways to benefit all residents. He assisted in the facilitation of story time in the Tantra Clubhouse and supports its use for educational purposes, resident-initiated events, and community meetings. His dedication to creating a healthy community for both BHP residents and homeowners is truly commendable. BHP deeply appreciates Chris’s partnership and the positive impact he has made on our residents’ quality of life.

Non-Profit Partner: Frasier Meadows – Seniors for Seniors
Social responsibility is a value prioritized by the Frasier Senior Living Retirement Community. The Seniors for Seniors advisory committee, comprised of Frasier residents, administers funds from the Frasier Community Resource Fund Endowment, which was created to engage Frasier residents with a focus on supporting Boulder County non-profits that provide essential services to older adults. For the past two years, the BHP Foundation has received grant support from the Frasier Meadows Seniors for Seniors group. These funds have been used to increase community connections, offer health opportunities, and support residents in their housing stability. Two members of the Seniors for Seniors committee also attended the 2023 BHP Foundation tour, showing that their investment in older adults living in BHP communities runs even deeper than the essential financial support they’ve provided to help residents thrive.
