Colorado Division of Housing

Mission Statement:
For many communities throughout Colorado, the Department of Local Affairs is the face of state government--that initial and primary point of contact where local communities work in partnership with the State. Our department's mission statement, Strengthening Colorado Communities, exemplifies the level of responsiveness and attentiveness that lies at the heart of our services. Through financial and technical assistance, property tax administration, property valuation appeals and programs addressing affordable housing and homelessness, our department works in cooperation with local communities to make them more sustainable and enhance their livability. For more information about the Department of Local Affairs go to www.dola.colorado.gov.

The Division of Housing (DOH) was created by statute in 1970 to improve the access of all Coloradans to decent, affordable housing. Working with the State Housing Board, the Division:
 Provides state and federal funding to private housing developers, housing authorities and local governments to increase the inventory of affordable housing.
 Offers Section 8 rental assistance statewide through local housing authorities and non-profit service organizations.
 Certifies all factory/manufactured structures built in or shipped to Colorado, and approves multifamily construction in counties with no construction codes.
