Complete Guide to Section 8 & Public Housing in Colorado

Colorado has 59 housing authorities managing a combined 487 waiting lists across Section 8 (HCV), Public Housing, and Project-Based Voucher programs. Currently, 218 of those lists are accepting applications — an open rate of approximately 45%. This data was last verified on Oct 7, 2026.

Those agencies administer roughly 45,515 assisted housing units statewide — 6,916 public housing units and 38,599 Housing Choice Vouchers, across 32 counties. Income limits are set by HUD per county or metro area, so eligibility thresholds differ between agencies within Colorado.

The affordable housing programs tracked in Colorado include Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) (15 open), Public Housing (30 open), Project-Based Vouchers (PBV) (8 open), RAD (4 open), Mainstream, VASH (1 open). Each program has its own eligibility criteria, application process, and wait times. In most cases, applicants can apply to multiple program types at the same housing authority, and there is no limit to the number of housing authorities you can apply to statewide.

The cities with the most open waitlists in Colorado right now are Boulder (50), Littleton (18), Greeley (13), Brighton (13), and Longmont (12) . Applicants who are flexible about location will generally receive assistance sooner than those who apply to a single waitlist in a high-demand area.

Latest opening: Littleton Housing Authority — Affordable Housing (Powers Circle Apartments)
