About This Program in Colorado

In Denver, the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program and public housing are administered by the Denver Housing Authority (DHA). Rent is income-based — generally about 30% of adjusted household income — whether in a DHA community or with a voucher used in private housing.

How to Apply in Colorado

Apply online through DHA at denverhousing.org when pre-applications or waitlists are open; demand is high. Colorado bans source-of-income discrimination statewide (HB20-1332, effective January 1, 2021), so most landlords cannot refuse a Housing Choice Voucher — though landlords with three or fewer rental units are exempt. Call DHA at (720) 932-3000 for current waitlist status.
