A group of former board members of Ithaka Land Trust has asked Attorney General Phil Weiser’s office to investigate the nonprofit’s recent sales of nearly half its 21 properties to one chosen developer at prices below market value, while loaning $555,717, interest free, to the same developer on some of those sales.
The transactions represent a radical departure from Ithaka’s original mission, when established in 1981, to care for the poor and provide permanent low-income housing.
Attorney Jennifer Gilbert, with GPS Legal Solutions of Denver, says in her May 5 letter some of Ithaka’s actions — all under the leadership of Ithaka director Anjuli Kapoor, hired in October 2017 — might constitute violations of Colorado law, as the ....
