2022 meeting. Commissioner David seconded, and the motion was passed
unanimously.
VI. Action Items
a. Approval of Housing Catalyst and Larimer County Housing Annual Agency Plan
Director of Housing Assistance Traci McGraw discussed the request for adoption
of the annual Agency Plan for both Housing Catalyst and Larimer County Housing
Authority. Public Housing Authorities must submit an Agency Plan to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for their public housing
and Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) programs each year. The Board Action
Memo, which includes detailed information, is included in this meeting packet in
Boardable for reference. Ms. McGraw noted that an amended Agency Plan, with
the addition of the Moving to
Work (MTW) supplement, will be presented to this Board next month for
adoption.
Ms. McGraw reported on the development of a Resident Advisory Committee,
noting that it has been difficult in the past to get participants for this Committee.
However, the formation of a Committee is on this year's work plan; several people
have expressed interest in participating, so the hope is that this Committee will
be in place soon.
Commissioner Wilkins moved to approve Resolution HC-RES-2022-09-01, and
authorize the Board Chairperson to execute appropriate HUD submittal
documents. Commissioner David Bye seconded, and the motion was passed
unanimously.
b. 2021 FYE Audit Presentation
Chief Financial Officer Tonya Frammolino introduced Alexis Odden and Mackinzie
Wilson from Eide Baily, Housing Catalyst's auditors, who joined this meeting to
provide an update on the Audit of the 2021 financials. Ms. Odden introduced the
engagement team from Eide Baily. She noted that the Audit ended with a clean,
unmodified opinion. No deficiencies in internal controls were identified. The
opinion is that the organization complied in all material aspects of the Single
Audit reporting.
Ms. Odden reviewed the Management Letter presented to the Board, noting this is
required communication to identify and specify significant risks, accounting
policies, accounting estimates, disclosures, and difficulties encountered during
the audit. There were no findings in any of these areas.
Ms. Frammolino expressed her appreciation of the hard work of Eide Baily and
the Finance team. The Board tabled the approval of the Audit until the next
meeting to give Commissioners more time to review it.
VII. Committee and Staff Updates
a. Development Committee Update
1. Development 5-Year Project Plans and Milestones (September) 2022)
Chief Real Estate Officer Kristin Fritz provided an update on several
projects. The 5-Year Project Plan and Milestones were attached to the
meeting's packet in Boardable for reference.
Ms. Fritz noted that information will be presented to this Board next month on
potential funding sources for Remington Row.
Housing Catalyst’s Montava project will be pushed out by approximately one year.
The project plans will be updated to reflect this change.
Work has begun on the property at Village on Bryan. Temporary relocations to a
local hotel are occurring and will be ongoing during the construction.
Lease-up at Oak 140 is expected to occur during the first half of 2023.
Lease-up for Impala is expected in early 2024.
Village on Elizabeth and Village on Stanford will be coming up on year 15, so
planning has begun to look at any work that will need to be done on those
properties.
Ms. Fritz extended appreciation to those who attended the Urban Design Awards
and the Oak 140 mural unveiling.
The suggestion was made that assistance be provided to Commissioners on how to
connect to Housing Catalyst's social media. Communications Manager Rachel
Gaisford will present information at a future meeting of this Board.

Ms. Frammolino provided an update from the Audit & Finance Committee,
reviewing the current Board report, and noting that the full report, as well as
Eide Baily's presentation and Audit Report, will be provided to the Board.
c. Property Operations Report
1. RentTrack Update
Chief Operating Officer Michele Christensen reported that in 2021 Governor Polis
signed HB 1134 into law creating the first statewide rent-reporting pilot that aims
to facilitate rent reporting in affordable and market housing. Housing Catalyst
was selected to participate in the pilot (Village on Shields) to help residents build
credit without increasing debt. RentTrack allows Housing Catalyst to report
rent payments to all three credit reporting agencies. So far the pilot has shown
positive results and Housing Catalyst is looking to expand the program to more
properties.
Assistant Director of Property Operations Jessica Born provided an update on the
launch of RentTrack. The presentation is located in Boardable for reference.
Ms. Born described the outreach done at Village on Shields. About 20% of
residents at Village on Shields are currently enrolled; the average credit score has
increased from 584 to 615.
The Board requested an update on program metrics and results in six
months.
d. Agency Operations Updates
1. Behavioral Health Grant
Ms. Christensen reported that Housing Catalyst received a renewal of the

2. Wellington Waitlist
Ms. Christensen provided an update on the Wellington waitlist
demographics and reported that at this time the profile of the wait list
applicants is consistent with the community’s demographics.

ACTION ITEM
To: Housing Catalyst Board of Commissioners
From: Traci McGraw, Director of Housing Assistance Programs
Meeting Date: October 20, 2022
Action Item: Request for Board approval: 2023 Moving to Work Supplement and amended
2023 Annual Agency Plan for Housing Catalyst
Alignment to Strategic Plan:
Goal 2: Increase supply of Affordable Housing
Strategy 2.6: Maximize Rental Assistance
Background:
Housing Catalyst submitted its 2023 Annual Agency Plan (approved at the September Board of
Commissioners meeting) to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) by the
October 18 deadline. The plan has since been approved by our HUD Field Office. Today, we bring the
MTW Supplement to the Board for review and approval.
In 2022, Housing Catalyst was among 29 agencies selected to join the Landlord Incentives Cohort of the
Moving to Work (MTW) Demonstration Program. MTW encourages agencies to adopt an
entrepreneurial spirit as they create and test solutions to common challenges. Agencies in the MTW
demonstration have pioneered several innovative policy interventions that have been successful at the
local level, and subsequently rolled out to the rest of the country’s public housing agencies.
Housing Catalyst’s 2023 MTW Supplement outlines the activities and waivers the agency plans to
implement in the coming year. Following Board approval, the supplement will be submitted online to
HUD and added as an amendment to Housing Catalyst’s 2023 Annual Agency Plan. In future years, the
MTW Supplement will be included in the Annual Agency Plan.
Description:
The MTW Supplement addresses Housing Catalyst’s plans to make several operational changes through
MTW activities and waivers. As part of the Landlord Incentives Cohort, the agency plans to focus on two
initiatives:
1) Leasing bonus: One-time payment to new property owners who have not received a Housing
Assistance Payment in the prior three years.
2) Damage claims: Fund to reimburse property owners for the cost of tenant-caused damages
(minus the security deposit). Damages must be documented and accepted by Housing Catalyst.
To support Housing Catalyst’s larger goal of using MTW flexibility to streamline administrative processes
and reduce agency costs, the agency has also applied for several waivers:
• Re-examination - Self Certification of Assets
• Rent Reasonable - Third Party Requirement removed
• Housing Quality Standards - Third Party Requirement removed
• Project Based Vouchers Increase in PBV Program Cap
• Project Based Vouchers Increase in PBV Project Cap
• Project Based Vouchers - Elimination of PBV Selection process for PHA Projects without
improvement, development, or replacement
These waivers help make MTW initiatives sustainable since no additional funding is provided through
the MTW program.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Board adopt Resolution 2022-10-01 for the approval of the 2023 MTW
Supplement and amended 2023 Housing Catalyst Annual Agency Plan.
MTW Supplement to
the Annual PHA Plan
U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development
Office of Public and Indian Housing
OMB No. 2577-0226
Expires: 03/31/
Purpose. The Moving to Work (MTW) Supplement to the Annual PHA Plan informs HUD, families served by the PHA, and
members of the public, about the MTW Waivers and associated activities that the MTW agency seeks to implement in the coming
Fiscal Year and updates the status of MTW activities that have been previously approved. It also provides information about Safe
Harbor Waivers, Agency-Specific Waivers, compliance with MTW statutory requirements, and evaluations. The MTW Supplement
does not replace the PHA Plan. MTW agencies must continue to submit the applicable PHA Plan. MTW agencies that are not required
to submit annual PHA Plans under the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA) must submit the MTW Supplement
annually, in addition to holding public hearings, obtaining board approval, and consulting with Resident Advisory Boards (RABs) and
tenant associations, as applicable, on planned MTW activities.
Applicability. Form HUD-50075-MTW is to be completed annually by all MTW agencies brought onto the MTW Demonstration
Program pursuant to Section 239 of the Fiscal Year 2016 Appropriations Act, P.L. 114-113 (2016 MTW Expansion Statute) or legacy
MTW agencies2 that chose to follow the requirements of the MTW Operations Notice.
Definitions. All terms used in this MTW Supplement are consistent with the definitions stated in the MTW Operations Notice,
including:
(1)Local, Non-Traditional Activities (LNT) – Those MTW activities that use MTW funding flexibility outside of the Housing
Choice Voucher (HCV) and public housing programs established in Sections 8 and 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937.
(2)Safe Harbors – The additional parameters or requirements, beyond those specified in the MTW activity description itself found in
the MTW Operations Notice, following each activity description, that the MTW agency must follow in implementing MTW activities.
(3)Substantially the Same Requirement – A statutory MTW requirement that MTW agencies must continue to assist substantially
the same total number of eligible low-income families as would have been served absent the MTW demonstration.

B. Narrative.
B.1 MTW Supplement Narrative.
The narrative provides the MTW agency with an opportunity to explain to the public, including the families that it
serves, its MTW plans for the fiscal year and its short and long-term goals.
The MTW agency should provide a description of how it seeks to further the three MTW statutory objectives during
the coming Fiscal Year. Those three MTW statutory objectives are: (1) to reduce cost and achieve greater cost
effectiveness in federal expenditures; (2) to give incentives to families with children whose heads of household are
either working, seeking work, or are participating in job training, educational or other programs that assist in
obtaining employment.
B. Narrative
Housing Catalyst is the Public Housing Authority for the City of Fort Collins, Colorado. We are a mission-driven real
estate developer and the largest property management company in northern Colorado. Housing Catalyst provides
sustainable, long-term housing solutions, serving more than 1,500 families per year. Employing innovative programs and
resident support systems, Housing Catalyst offers critical tools and resources that families need while creating vibrant,
sustainable communities throughout Fort Collins.
Housing Catalyst’s vision for its participation in the MTW program integrates our mission and objectives with the federal
statutory objectives of the MTW program to increase cost-effectiveness, self-sufficiency, and housing choice.
Housing Catalyst is only applying MTW initiatives to its HCV program in this first supplemental. The Public Housing
program is in process of disposition through the RAD and Section 18 tools. By focusing on the recruitment of new
landlords who are currently not participating in the HCV program, Housing Catalyst will further its mission of increasing
housing choices for families through policies which encourage landlord participation and increase units available to
families in the local housing market.
During its first year as an MTW agency, Housing Catalyst will focus on two initiatives: 1) Incentive payments, and
2) damage claims.
These initiatives will address cost effectiveness by increasing utilization rates and decreasing the amount of time voucher
holders are searching for housing; self-sufficiency by encouraging voucher holders to seek out neighborhoods with
greater opportunity and providing incentives for new landlords in those areas who were not previously working with the
voucher program; and housing choice by increasing the pool of landlords who welcome a housing choice voucher.
C. MTW Waivers and Associated Activities.
Activity: C.4 Landlord Leasing Incentives; 4.b. Damage Claims
Narrative. Describe the MTW activity, the MTW agency’s
goal(s) for the MTW activity, and, if applicable, how the

Description:
Housing Catalyst will reimburse landlords for the cost of
tenant caused damages (minus the security deposit). The
amount of compensation will not exceed the lesser of the cost
of damages or two months contract rent. Damages must be
documented and accepted by Housing Catalyst. Housing
Catalyst will require proof that damages are beyond ordinary
wear and tear and documentation of the charges to the tenant’s
security deposit as a part of the claim process. Documentation
of actual damage costs are required; Housing Catalyst will not
pay based on estimates. Housing Catalyst may charge these
costs to the tenant as a condition for remaining in the program.

ACTION ITEM
To: Housing Catalyst Board of Commissioners
From: Kristin Fritz, Chief Real Estate Officer
Meeting Date: October 20, 2022
Action Item: Approval of HC-RES-2022-10-03 Resolution Authorizing Transfer of 15 Public Housing
Units to Villages, Ltd.
Alignment to Strategic Plan: This resolution supports Goal 2: Increase the Supply of Affordable Housing
and the Dispose of Obsolete/Unsustainable Models and Restructure Portfolio strategy by completing the
disposition of all public housing through the Section 18 program.
Background: Housing Catalyst received approval from HUD in July 2022 to dispose of its 48 remaining
public housing units, including the 15 units in one building at 2155 W. Plum.
Description: Housing Catalyst’s Section 18 Disposition plan for 2155 W. Plum, which has been approved
by the Board of Commissioners, includes transitioning residents to voucher-based assistance, and using
proceeds from the sale of other public housing units to Elevation Community Land Trust and other
funding sources to renovate the property in 2023-2024. Implementation of the plan also requires
transferring the units at 2155 W. Plum to Villages, Ltd. as the entity that will own and operate the
property when it is no longer public housing.
Fiscal Impact: Villages Ltd. will acquire this property from Housing Catalyst for $1. Not only has 2155 W.
Plum suffered from decades of Congressional underfunding for the public housing program, but Housing
Catalyst has also been constrained by HUD’s restrictions on using the financing methods a private owner
would use to perform repairs and modernization. Transferring this property to the Villages Ltd. portfolio
following its removal from the public housing program will allow Villages Ltd. to own and operate the
property in a fiscally sustainably manner.
Recommendation: The Development Committee and Housing Catalyst staff recommend approval of HC-
RES-2022-10-03 Resolution Authorizing Transfer of 15 Public Housing Units to Villages, Ltd.
RESOLUTION NO. HC-RES-2022-10-03

Catalyst”);
WHEREAS the purpose of the Villages is to facilitate the mission of Housing Catalyst;
WHEREAS Housing Catalyst is the owner of 15 residential rental units located at 2155
West Plum Street, Fort Collins, Colorado (the “Public Housing Units”);
WHEREAS the Public Housing Units were acquired using funds provided by the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”);
WHEREAS Housing Catalyst is disposing of the Public Housing Units under the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development Section 18 program;
WHEREAS Housing Catalyst will transfer and convey the Public Housing Units to the
Villages for one dollar ($1.00);
WHEREAS upon the sale of the Public Housing Units by Housing Catalyst to the Villages,

Catalyst for the benefit of HUD;

2023 Budget Report | 3
Overview
For more than 50 years, Housing Catalyst has been building community in Northern Colorado. The quasi-
governmental agency (formerly the Fort Collins Housing Authority) addresses the growing need for
affordable homes through innovative, sustainable, community-focused solutions – developing and
managing residential properties, distributing federal housing assistance, coordinating community
programs and services, and leading policy discussions and community dialog around affordable housing.
Housing Catalyst approaches the budget development process with one overarching goal in mind – to
satisfy our mission. We honor our mission through a focus on a triple bottom line.
As Housing Catalyst has worked to accomplish its goals, the organization has taken on the oversight of
various entities and created entity structures to expand opportunities for residents earning below the area
median income. This oversight includes:
• Administering housing assistance programs for Larimer County,
• Managing Wellington Community Housing through a contractual agreement,
• Managing a 501(c)(3) entity that owns and operates affordable rental homes, and
• Developing multiple affordable housing projects utilizing tax credit financing through partnership
agreements with various external investors.
This year’s fiscal budget data includes all agency-wide programs and departments. Additionally, data
presented includes reports and information related to blended units and discretely presented units made
up of managed entities and affiliates.
This budget report is the result of tireless hours by dedicated Housing Catalyst staff. Through their
adherence to the agency’s core values, they ensure the data presented is of the highest quality. The
executive team extends their sincere appreciation to all staff for their commitment to this process and to
the mission of the organization.
2023 Budget Report | 4
Economic Conditions and Outlook
Congressional housing legislation and the federal budget affect Housing Catalyst more than local
economic factors. Housing Catalyst's primary sources of funding are the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD), administrative management fees, and other grants. As with most
housing authorities, much of Housing Catalyst's operating and capital funding comes from federal dollars
in the form of public housing operating subsidies, capital fund grants, Housing Choice Voucher
administrative fees and Housing Assistance Payments.
For the Public Housing program, housing authorities receive operating subsidies in accordance with an
operating subsidy funding formula. In general, the calculated subsidy amount is the difference between
an estimate of operating costs minus an estimate of income from rents. Operating subsidies are subject
to annual appropriation by Congress.
Fort Collins has an estimated population of 172,321 (2021) and a median household income of $70,528.
The median family income for Larimer County is $76,366. The rental market in Fort Collins remains tight
with rents continuing to increase and vacancy rates at around 5-6%.
Demand for affordable housing remains strong in the Fort Collins market. The rental market has tightened
considerably in recent years and rents continue to increase. According to rentcafe.com, apartment rents
increased by an average of 11% in Fort Collins during 2021. Additionally, effects of the COVID-19
pandemic increased the demand for affordable rental housing at a time when expansion of affordable
units has been challenging. This is expected to keep upward pressure on rental rates overall. Additional
funding through federal, state, and other emergency programs may keep rental collection rates at near
normal levels in the near term. The longer-term outlook for rent collection and demand for rental housing
will be driven by the length and depth of the economic recovery.
Housing Catalyst remains focused on development of new affordable homes through both acquisition
and new build strategies.
In early 2022, Housing Catalyst was selected to join HUD's Moving to Work (MTW) program under the
Landlord Incentive cohort. The transition to MTW will allow flexibility in the utilization of funding received
from HUD and the ability to initiate new programs and strategies within the community. The transition will
not directly impact overall HUD funding received by Housing Catalyst.
Long-Term Planning | Major Commitments | Initiatives
Housing Catalyst supports the development and preservation of affordable housing throughout Fort
Collins, with funding from the City, Colorado Division of Housing, Colorado Housing and Finance
Authority, equity investors, and lenders. Along with its partners, Housing Catalyst combines intentional
design with sustainable development principles and sound planning to develop and maintain a vibrant,
diverse affordable housing portfolio. Housing Catalyst employs many strategies to create and preserve
2023 Budget Report | 5
its stock of affordable housing. These strategies include new construction, acquisition, rehabilitation, and
preservation of existing housing to create and maintain high-quality, sustainable homes.
In 2019, after the disposition of 84 public housing units under the RAD program, the decision was made
to pursue a Section 18 disposition for the remaining 70 public housing units. The first three projects
resulted in the construction or preservation of 453 affordable housing units. The repositioning of the
remaining 70 public housing units is now expected to be completed over the next year. Housing Catalyst
plans to utilize proceeds from the Section 18 disposition for the Impala redevelopment project, a
combination of new construction and renovation which will net 49 new affordable rental homes and
preserve 12 duplexes. A separate renovation will preserve 15 existing units located at 2155 W Plum.
Organizational Structure
BLENDED COMPONENT UNITS
Several controlled entities are included within the financial reporting entity of Housing Catalyst as blended
component units. These include the Larimer County Housing Authority (LCHA), all of the general
partnership entities controlled by Housing Catalyst, various special purpose entities, development
entities, and Villages, Ltd. According to the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the
balances and transactions of the component units are to be consolidated and reported within the
proprietary funds of Housing Catalyst. However, for purposes of clarity in presentation of the agency’s
budget, the Villages, Ltd. entity and all of its real estate holdings are presented separately within this
report. Additionally, the public housing portfolio is separated for presentation purposes.
DISCRETELY PRESENTED COMPONENT UNITS
Housing Catalyst manages nine discretely presented component units. These units are not consolidated
with the agency under GASB rules. Since these are legally separate from Housing Catalyst, they are
reported separately for budget presentation within this report.

CENTRAL OFFICE COST CENTERS
Housing Catalyst utilizes a Central Office Cost Center (COCC) model to allocate overhead to
departments. A total of five COCCs are part of the budget and accounting structure utilized by the agency.
Costs accumulated in each of the cost centers are then allocated to the individual departments of the
agency. This methodology facilitates a more appropriate match of costs with related departments while
also being easier to administer.
The figure below outlines the structure and relationship of the COCCs to the individual departments, and
then the departments with their associated customers.
Figure 2 – Cost Center and Department Relationship Chart
DEPARTMENTS
Housing Catalyst is made up of five distinct departments–housing assistance, property management,
resident services, maintenance, and development. The costs associated with these departments are paid
for by various billing arrangements between Housing Catalyst and its managed programs, real estate
portfolios, and affiliates.
Each department is evaluated separately to determine if it is financially viable and performing to the
expectations set by leadership. As such, each department maintains its own separate budget.

Agency Parent Budget Assumptions
The following sections include some key assumptions related to the agency’s budget preparations. These
represent concepts that are helpful to the reader and relevant to the understanding of the agency’s
operations. This is not an exhaustive list of all assumptions utilized.
OVERHEAD
Each of the overhead cost centers are fully allocated to the departments of the agency. For FY 2023, the
total overhead as a percentage of revenue has increased by 2.5% to 13.9%. Additionally, the overall
increase in overhead has remained relatively stable with the growth of revenues over the past 5 years.
The trailing 5-year trend is depicted in Figure 3 and shows an average overhead rate of 12.1% over the
timeframe depicted.
Figure 3 - T5Y Overhead Ratio
A large component of the increase in overhead projected for the 2023 budget is increases in labor costs
due to significant inflationary pressure in the market. To remain competitive, pools were increased to
keep pace with inflation. Additionally, the economic impact of inflation and supply chain disturbances has
increased many other expense classes. For reference, the inflation rate at the end of 2021 was 7.04%
with a current rate at the end of August 2022 of 8.26% according to the U.S. Consumer Price Index.
The makeup of the overhead
expenses amongst the five cost
centers is illustrated in Figure 4.
The allocation of the cost centers
to the departments is dependent
upon the nature of the cost. The
human resource and technology
cost centers are allocated based
upon head count, while the
remaining cost centers are
allocated based on each
department’s respective share in
compensation, a common
methodology used for allocating overhead. Once this percentage is determined, a weighted factor is
assigned to both the development and property management departments due to their determined

complexity and use of resources by the executive team. The weighted rate for development and property
management is 25% and 10% respectively.
Looking at the allocation rates for HR and technology, the per person rate is $5,598 and $9,499
respectively per annum. The allocation of the remaining overhead cost pools to the departments, adjusted
for the surcharge rate, are located in figure 5.
EMPLOYEE STAFFING
The agency has assessed its staffing needs and determined that additional positions are required in order
to adequately perform duties,
be resourced enough to nimbly
take advantage of
opportunities and succeed in
attaining the organization’s
mission. Thus, there is a
budgeted increase in full-time
equivalent employees of 3.3. The positions to be added are an HR generalist, a part-time accounts
payable clerk, a part-time IT tech support position, and an additional maintenance technician. The goal
is to continue to support the advancement and growth of the organization through appropriate staffing
levels.
The basis for seeking additional support in accounts payable is the volume of invoices being processed,
as well as enhancements in the full payables cycle to increase internal controls. The basis for adding an
HR generalist is the increase in recruiting and
administration of employee benefits as the agency has
grown. Additional support is needed in technology to
coordinate efforts with our enhanced ERP system and
increase collaboration with City IT. Lastly, the additional
maintenance tech will support newly acquired or developed properties including Oak 140 which is
expected to open in January 2023. The increase of 3.3 FTE represents a 2.7% increase in compensation
costs over current levels.
In addition to added FTE, there is an allotment for market and performance increases included in the
budget. The pool rate is directly influenced by market pressure and conditions, and as such the blended
pool rate has been set at 6.3% to accommodate higher than normal pressures in the labor market.

A thorough evaluation of benefit offerings is conducted annually. During this year’s evaluation the
average increase in health, dental, and vision insurance was 5%. The combined cost of benefits, referred
to as the burden rate, is 37.26% with paid
time off (“PTO”) factored in. This places our
burden rate below the mid-point for
comparable industries according to the BLS
benchmark data for 2021, provided in Figure
6.
MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT
Housing Catalyst operates an in-house maintenance department. The costs associated with labor in this
department are charged directly to properties based on three billing methods. The first billing method is
an hourly bill rate of $69 for on-call routine work orders. The bill rate was kept at the same rate as 2021
due to careful analysis and management of department resources. Additionally, the agency has
benchmarked work order bill rates with other housing authorities in Colorado and found that the range
(adjusting for outliers) is $65-$85 per hour. Therefore, our rate of $69 is at the low end of the range and
we expect holding the bill rate in future years will not be possible.
The second billing method is a graduated per-unit flat rate contract for preventative maintenance
services. The scale is provided for reference in Figure 7. Preventative maintenance contracts will be
issued to all properties managed by the agency and cover
recurring maintenance such as site inspections, cleanup of sites,
and many other routine recurring services. Preventative
maintenance typically is performed by entry-level staff with a
much lower bill cost.
The third billing method is a percentage markup applied to all
managed capital projects that the maintenance department is
hired to perform. In order to provide skilled project management
and oversight to capital improvement projects, the maintenance
team retains qualified managers with prior expertise in
scheduling, coordinating, and managing capital projects. This is
a valuable resource especially in the current market where both
maintenance technicians and skilled labor is difficult to find.
In addition to any labor costs, work orders include direct supply costs with a purchasing markup rate of
20%. The markup supports the cost of the staff necessary to handle and coordinate purchasing on behalf
of all properties served.
The maintenance department is projected to generate a net profit of $57,024 for the 2023 budget year.

DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
The agency’s development department is staffed by a skilled team with high technical ability in the field
of affordable real estate development. The funding for the department comes primarily from fees earned
when projects are acquired,
constructed, or rehabilitated. The
development department is projecting
to generate a total of $2,883,352 in new
development fees in 2023. The sources
of the fees are depicted in Figure 8.
The department is also projecting to
generate grants totaling $61,000 from
the close out of retention on the Oak
140 project. Lastly, the department
continues to accrue interest income on
pass-through mortgages to past
developments that is payable whenever
the waterfall is triggered. For the 2023
budget year the accrued income is
$668,668.
The development department is projected to generate a combined $1.32 million in net income.
RESIDENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT
The resident services department includes the HUD-funded Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program for
voucher holders called JumpStart, supportive services for residents living in Housing Catalyst’s affordable
properties, and Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH). The department’s continued focus for 2023 is
housing stability, education, health, and resident engagement.
In 2021, there was a 41% increase in referrals from property managers for residents needing supportive
services or community referrals from Resident Service Coordinators (RSCs) who support our affordable
housing properties. This trend continued into 2022 and influenced the number of resident services
coordinators required to successfully support the entire census of residents in the current and growing
real estate portfolio.
Beginning in 2023, properties and programs will be invoiced directly for the resident services support
they receive instead of allocating costs through the COCC platform.
The department is partially funded by grants from community and government partners. In 2023 the
agency is including an internally-issued grant from Villages, Ltd. in the amount of $120,000 to support
this vital department and its efforts. These monies will assist properties that may not have sufficient
resources to secure services for residents.

The needs of the resident population served is greater than the monies available via grants and property
service contracts. Thus, for 2023 the resident services department has a projected shortfall of ($146,314)
that will be funded by the agency’s other operational income sources.
Larimer County Behavioral Health Grant
The Larimer County Behavioral Health Grant was renewed for 2023 and supports a behavioral health
clinician at our PSH communities, Redtail Ponds and Mason Place.
Family Self-Sufficiency Grant
The agency’s JumpStart program is funded by a HUD-issued FSS grant. The grant funds three full time
staff to provide services and administer the program for participants in the Housing Choice Voucher
program and public housing residents.
Continuum of Care Grant
The Continuum of Care grant awarded by HUD specifically covers the costs of Permanent Supportive
Housing services at our managed Redtail Ponds property. Permanent Supportive Housing requires
skilled social workers and more touch points than other affordable housing products. The grant award for
the fiscal year ending October 31, 2023, is $384,433 which represents a 6% increase over the prior fiscal
year end. A modest 3% increase is assumed for the following fiscal period.
P ROPERTY MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT
The property management department is comprised of property managers of varying expertise levels,
compliance specialists, and business support staff that directly support and oversee operations on each
of the real estate properties managed by the agency. Additionally, this department is responsible for asset
management services such as capital improvement, investor relations, and exit plan evaluations,
amongst others.
The department earns various fees based upon agreed terms and/or recaptures costs as outlined in
management agreements. The departments income will fluctuate based upon the rental revenues of the
real estate portfolio upon which a substantial portion of its fee income is dependent. Each real estate
property has its own agreed upon fee structure; however, the average fee earned is between 7-9% of net
rental revenues. In 2023 the department will manage in excess of $14.76 million in total real estate
portfolio operating revenues. This will generate over $2 million in fee income payable to the agency and
result in the department generating $33,500 in net income during the 2023 budget period.
HOUSING ASSISTANCE DEPARTMENT
The housing assistance department administers the Housing Choice Voucher programs for the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development. Voucher programs assist low-income families, the
elderly, and people with disabilities.
2023 Budget Report | 13
Housing specialists in the department handle waitlist management, income verification, recertifications,
inspections, and determination of rental subsidies. The skilled specialists are required to keep abreast of
federal rules and regulations and manage caseloads of 200-250 households.
The department is funded through income earned in the form of an administrative fee calculated on the
total vouchers leased each month. The department is expected to generate a net loss of ($180,229)
which will be subsidized by other agency income sources. This is typical for agencies since the
administration is underfunded by HUD as will be discussed in the next section on housing assistance
payments.
Housing Assistance Payments
Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) is the term used to identify the monies that pass-through Housing
Catalyst for subsequent payment to landlords on behalf of qualifying residents participating in a qualifying
program. The agency earns an administrative fee for administering HAP payments and managing various
voucher programs. However, the fee has not been fully funded by HUD. The anticipated prorated funding
rate for administrative fees in 2023 is 92%.
Housing Catalyst is only paid for units that are leased on the first of the month. The combined Housing
Assistance Payments of $17.9M generate a total $1.5M in administrative fees for the housing assistance
department. The department is budgeting a net loss of $180,339.
Housing Choice Vouchers0F
1
It is assumed that this voucher program will continue to reach 97%-dollar utilization during the 2023
budget period. The agency administers 1,215 vouchers under this program with an estimated $15.11
million in HAP payments resulting in projected administrative fees of $1,216,569. There is an additional
$37,827 in administrative fee income expected to be earned on new voucher issuances.
Mainstream Vouchers1
The mainstream voucher program estimates an average increase of 2% for 2023 and an average 148
vouchers per month. The estimated HAP funding within this program is $2.38 million which should result
in administrative fee income of $223,471 at the 92% proration rate.
Emergency Housing Vouchers
The Emergency Housing Vouchers administered by Housing Catalyst consist of 24 vouchers with HAP
funding in excess of $408,000 resulting in $25,539 in administrative fees.
CATALYST FUND
Housing Catalyst generates various other revenues that the agency has decided to earmark as Catalyst
Funds. The sources of these revenue streams are mostly related to bond issuance and special limited
partner fees.
1 This includes both Housing Catalyst and Larimer County vouchers.
2023 Budget Report | 14
Catalyst funds are special earmarked funds that can be utilized by department heads to fund “catalyst
events” that support the mission and strategic goals of the agency. Department heads can make formal
proposals to the executive team for one-time monies funded for process improvements, short term
staffing, or other expenses that are deemed critical to the success of the agency. The agency is projecting
to generate $134,451 in available Catalyst funds for 2023.
Agency Parent Budget
The full budget is located in Exhibit 1. Highlights for the parent budget are provided here. For presentation
purposes there are blended component units that are omitted from the agency parent budget and
reported separately. The separately stated blended component units are the public housing portfolio and
Villages, Ltd.
OPERATING INCOME
The 2023 operating income budget for the agency parent is projected to be a total of $30,166,588. Of
this amount $17,945,172 represents voucher revenue that passes through to recipients in the form of
Housing Assistance Payments. An additional $549,809 is sourced from grant monies, with the balance
of $11,671,607 representing agency revenues. Those agency revenues are broken out by type in Figure
9. The largest source of agency revenue is developer fee income at 25%.

The 2023 total projected operating income is expected to increase over 2022 proforma figures by 8.8%
when adjusted for billed site labor.2 A key factor causing this increase is an increase in developer fees
projected for 2023. For illustrative purposes, the year-over-year (YOY) Operating Income is presented in
Figure 10 with 2023 adjusted for site labor recapture.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Combined operating expenses are budgeted to be $29,475,306 in 2023. This includes pass-through
housing assistance payments totaling $17,945,713. The balance of operating expenses represents
agency operating expenses in the amount of $11,530,134. The agency operating expenses include
$1,638,879 in site staff labor that were included in the past.1F

expenditure for service-oriented companies such as Housing Catalyst. Thus, total labor expense
represents 80% of all agency operating expenses budgeted for 2023 (removing HAP). The remaining
20% of agency operating expenses is made up of training, conferences, consulting services, facilities
expenses, business insurance, technology, and other administrative expenses.
NET OPERATING INCOME
The 2023 net operating income (NOI) for Housing Catalyst is projected to be $691,280. This represents
an $865,124 decrease from the prior year budget. The primary reason for the decrease is a reduction in
budgeted government grants totaling $2,449,898 which is offset by favorable increases in agency
income2F
3 . Specifically, developer fee income is budgeted to increase in 2023 over the 2022 budget year.
The NOI for 2023 as a percentage of revenues is 2.29%.
OTHER NON-OPERATING INCOME (EXPENSES)
The 2023 non-operating income and expenses are made up of income and expense streams that are
deemed not to be directly related to operating and are ancillary to operations. By separating out items
that are not directly attributed to operations, it allows management to more closely monitor the operations
of the agency. Interest income on soft debt is presented in this section of the income statement and
represents earned interest on past real estate transactions where bond proceeds have been received
and subsequently loaned to recipient project entity. These amounts are payable when each deal’s
waterfall is triggered. There is $1,671,816 of soft debt interest income expected, which is $474,983 over
what was budgeted in 2022.
Non-operating expenses that are reflected in this section are depreciation, amortization, and interest
expense. The 2023 budgeted amounts for these expenses are $164,635; $25,065; and $331,986
respectively.
Housing Catalyst also shares in income for each real estate transaction where it retains minority
ownership interest in the form of general partnerships. There is $33,000 budgeted for 2023 representing
the agency’s estimated share of those partnership earnings.
NET INCOME
The 2023 net income is budgeted to be $1,881,694 which is a $179,342 decrease over the 2022 budget.
The primary factor impacting net income is the reduction in governmental grants, as outlined in the net
operating income section, which is offset by favorable increases in developer fees budgeted in 2023. Net
income as a percentage of revenue for 2023 is 6.24%.
3 Taking into consideration adjustment for site staff billing since 2023 is first budget year being recorded both as
income and expense for tracking purposes.
2023 Budget Report | 17
Key Definitions
Net Income: Net income (“NI”), also called net earnings, is calculated as sales minus cost of goods sold,
selling, general and administrative expenses, operating expenses, depreciation, interest, taxes, and other
expenses. It is a useful number for investors to assess how much revenue exceeds the expenses of an
organization. This number appears on a company's income statement and is also an indicator of a
company's profitability. (Investopedia, 2021)
Net Operating Income: Net operating income (NOI) is a calculation used to analyze the profitability of
real estate investments and organizations. NOI equals all revenue from the property, minus all reasonably
necessary operating expenses.
NOI is a before-tax figure, appearing on a property’s income and cash flow statement, that excludes
principal and interest payments on loans, capital expenditures, depreciation, and amortization. When this
metric is used in other industries, it is referred to as “earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization” (EBITDA). In our presentations we utilize the NOI term exclusively.
Net Cash Flow: The net cash flow of an organization represents the sum over a period of time of the
total cash received (inflow) from sales and loans less the total amount of money spent (outflow) by the
company over the same period. It is an important measure of a company’s ability to survive and grow
(Bankrate, 2021).

Blended Component Units – Consolidated
HOUSING CATALYST, LLC
Housing Catalyst, LLC was setup as a disregarded Limited Liability Corporation owned entirely by
Housing Catalyst. The entity currently owns the Mason Parking Lot as well as ownership interest in
various general partnership entities and special purpose entities.
The combined activities from this blended component unit are projected to generate $249,590 in net
income during the 2023 budget period.
2023 Budget Report | 19
Blended Component Units – Separately Stated
PUBLIC HOUSING
The 2023 public housing budget assumes the sale
of the remaining public housing units. The sale is
projected to result in a gain of $3.7M and cash
proceeds of $4.4M. These funds will be utilized in
future developments including the Impala project
currently in progress. This closes out the last of the
public housing owned and operated by the agency.
VILLAGES, LTD.
Housing Catalyst manages Villages. Ltd., a 501(c) (3) corporation, and all of its real estate holdings. This
entity owns and manages 183 affordable housing units. During 2021, Villages, Ltd. appointed the Housing
Catalyst Board of Commissioners as its Board of Directors. As a result, Villages Ltd. is reported as a
blended component unit of Housing Catalyst under GASB pronouncements. The operating budget for
this entity consists of one general operating fund, the Taft office, and sixteen separate property budgets.
The consolidated 2023 budget is presented in detail along with a summary of the individual budgets in
Exhibit 4.
Villages, Ltd. is generating $1.266M in
net income during the 2023 budget
period that includes $1.178M in grant
monies for the renovation of Village on
Bryan.
The properties owned by Villages, Ltd.
do not require management of specific
debt service coverage ratios or investor
tax-loss requirements. Instead, the properties are managed against traditional real estate principles which
include monitoring performance to ensure overall positive net operating income and surplus operational
cash flow.
The 2023 Villages, Ltd. budget contains the following significant assumptions.
• The rehabilitation of the Bryan Avenue property with total project costs of $3,075,196 which is
funded by $1,178,197 from a City of Fort Collins grant and $1,897,000 from unrestricted cash
held by Villages, Ltd. and committed by the Board of Directors in 2022.
• The 2022 budget assumes 50% completion of the Bryan property rehabilitation in 2022 and the
remainder is expected to be completed in 2023.
• A grant to Housing Catalyst in the amount of $120,000 to fund the mission of resident services
and ensure that smaller or underserved properties have ability to utilize the resources.

Discretely Presented Component Units
Information in this section is presented to give additional insight into the factors and assumptions that
have been used to develop the proposed 2023 budget for each of the discretely presented component
units managed by Housing Catalyst.
TAX CREDIT PROPERTIES
The tax credit properties are budgeted to meet specific performance requirements outlined in the
respective limited partnership agreements. The budgets ensure performance required to meet the Debt
Service Coverage Ratio, which measures the project’s ability to pay debt obligations from operational
cash flow. Exhibit 2 contains the 2023 budgets for each of the LIHTC properties as well as the calculated
debt service coverage ratio. In each of the projects we anticipate meeting our obligations.
Additionally, the limited partnership agreements project estimated tax-losses for the investors. Although
the budgets ensure that the required minimum debt service coverage ratios are met, managing
performance to narrowly meet the required debt service coverage ratio provides the ability to meet the
expected tax-loss for the investors. Housing Catalyst targets reviewing tax losses annually after
completion of the partnership tax returns to evaluate project tax-losses for the investors.
Village On Elizabeth, LLLP
Village on Elizabeth is a 48-apartment project that was developed and is managed by Housing Catalyst.
Financing for the project came through multiple sources including federal tax credits.
The Village on Elizabeth property is budgeted to generate $83,024 in net operating income sufficient to
cover its required debt service ratio leaving $2,116 of excess over debt service.
Village on Plum, LLLP
Village on Plum is a 95-apartment project that was developed and is managed by Housing Catalyst.
Financing for the project came through multiple sources including federal tax credits.
The Village on Plum property is budgeted to generate $444,438 in net operating income sufficient to
cover its required debt service ratio leaving $156,513 of excess over debt service.

A new community, Oak 140, broke ground in September 2021. The project was devised in partnership
with the Downtown Development Authority and will feature commercial and office space, parking, and 79
apartments, including studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options. Construction is set to be
completed in January of 2023. The 2023 operating budget has been developed using similar properties
as a basis for estimating revenues and expenses.
Oak 140 is showing a net loss equal to $285,222. The project will have access to both a debt service
and operating reserve to cover losses during its initial stabilization period. The reserves are $147,736
and $271,413 respectively.
Managed Entities
WELLINGTON COMMUNITY HOUSING AND HOUSING AUTHORITY
Wellington Housing Authority went through a Section 18 disposition and converted 42 units of public
housing to tenant-based voucher rental assistance in 2021. All 42 units transitioned to Wellington
Community Housing (“WCH”), a non-profit corporation. All vouchers are Project Based Vouchers and
attached to the apartments. The 42 homes now owned by WCH are now managed by Housing Catalyst
and Housing Catalyst administers the vouchers. The Wellington Housing Authority entity remains active
if WCH ever dissolves; however, it no longer holds any property. The budgets for these two entities are
presented in Exhibit V in a consolidated view for presentation purposes only.
The properties owned by Wellington Community Housing do not require management of specific debt
service coverage ratios or investor tax-loss requirements. Instead, the properties are managed to perform
within the confines of the HUD-administered Project Based Voucher subsidy amounts and budgeted
operating expenses.
The Wellington portfolio is budgeted to generate $44,135 in net operating income.
Capital Budgets
The property portfolio capital budgets are evaluated for all properties each year. Furthermore, five-year
capital plans have been developed and evaluated for major modifications. The capital budget process
includes a comprehensive evaluation of property needs and evaluation of available reserves to pay for
needed improvements. When reserves are not maintained or sufficient then there is an evaluation of
operating funds to ensure sufficient cash to pay for planned improvements. A summary of the proposed
capital projects is presented along with projected reserve balances in EXHIBIT 6.
2023 Budget Report | 24
Conclusion
While this report is intended to provide a thorough overview of 2023 budget projections, it does not
contain all the data prepared and available. Detailed line-item budgets for each entity and underlying
departments have been prepared and are available for review upon request.
Housing Catalyst has undergone significant changes in its leadership structure in recent years. With
these changes has come a shift in the utilization of resources and a continued focus on improved property
management, administrative oversight, and development activities. Each year brings with it opportunities
to improve and refine techniques and methods. 2023 is no different. In 2023 we have identified that the
technology services segment was more aptly segregated into its own cost center and allocated to the
agency’s departments. Additionally, we have made improvements to the reporting abilities of certain
billing models, allocation, and aggregation techniques to enhance our leadership’s ability to monitor and
make business decisions.
The executive team is pleased to present this budget report which is a culmination of the efforts provided
by directors, managers, and staff members. Without the contributions of these team members, we could
not have provided such a detailed and thorough budget report.

Letter of Transmittal
2021 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
Organizational Overview
Maintaining the fiscal viability of the organization.
Achieving a social goal through the provision of affordable housing and supportive services.
Achieving environmental sustainability.
Housing Catalyst was created in 1971 by a petition of twenty-five citizens who were concerned about
the community's lack of adequate,safe housing for all of its inhabitants.This report includes all
programs of Housing Catalyst as well as all of its component units.Component units are legally
separate entities for which a government is financially accountable.Housing Catalyst is not a
component unit of the City of Fort Collins (the City)as defined by the pronouncements of the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board.The governing body for Housing Catalyst is its Board of
Commissioners (Board)comprised of seven members appointed by the City Council.The Board
appoints a Chief Executive Officer (CEO)to administer the affairs of Housing Catalyst.Sources of
funding include resident rents,administration of HUD programs,HUD subsidies passed through to
program participants and development related fee income.The City is not financially accountable for
the operations of Housing Catalyst,has no responsibility to fund deficits or receive surpluses and
has not guaranteed Housing Catalyst's debt.
Housing Catalyst's goals are accomplished through a variety of housing programs and activities.
These activities include several programs developed by HUD such as the Low Rent Housing
Program (Public Housing)and the Housing Choice Voucher Program.In addition to these federal
programs,Housing Catalyst has established various instrumentalities to explore and develop
innovative techniques for providing a variety of housing possibilities for the low to moderate-income
residents of Fort Collins.These programs have allowed Housing Catalyst the flexibility to develop
several private/public partnerships providing a variety of housing opportunities for Fort Collins
residents.
Housing Catalyst is our community’s leader in sustainable,long-term affordable housing solutions.
Each year,the agency helps over 5,000 lower income individuals through innovative,award-winning
affordable housing and programs that also benefit the city’s economy and revitalize neighborhoods.
Housing Catalyst is a progressive housing provider and developer,offering permanent solutions that
move people out of homelessness, stabilize families, and improve lives.
To achieve our mission,all Housing Catalyst functions are operated with attention paid to a triple
bottom line:
Housing Catalyst currently owns and operates 70 Public Housing units in addition to administering
over 1,200 Housing Choice Vouchers for Fort Collins and Larimer County.The Larimer County
allocation of 100 of these vouchers,65 of which are targeted specifically to people with disabilities,is
administered through an intergovernmental agreement.Housing Catalyst administered over $14
million in Housing Assistance Payments (HAP)to local landlords on behalf of participating families in
2021. This amount includes funding for 152 Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing program vouchers.

Letter of Transmittal
2021 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
Economic Condition and Outlook
Long-Term Planning and Major Commitments and Initiatives
Congressional housing legislation and the federal budget affect Housing Catalyst more than local
economic factors.Housing Catalyst's primary sources of funding are HUD,administrative
management fees and other grants.As with most housing authorities,much of Housing Catalyst's
operating and capital funding comes from federal dollars in the form of public housing operating
subsidies and capital fund grants and Housing Choice Voucher administrative fees and Housing
Assistance Payments.During the year ended December 31,2021,HUD and other federal agencies
provided over 57%of Housing Catalyst's operating revenue and approximately 48%of Housing
Catalyst's total revenues (including $112,334 in pass-through grant funding).
For the Housing Choice Voucher program,HUD provides housing authorities with a fixed annual
budget for Housing Assistance Payments (HAP)and for administration fees.Funding for the
Housing Choice Voucher program was prorated at 100%and 86%of eligibility for HAP and
administration fees,respectively.During the year ended December 31,2021,HUD also disbursed
CARES Act funding to housing authorities nationwide to assist with additional administrative costs
related to the preparation and response to the COVID-19 pandemic.During the year ended
December 31,2021,Housing Catalyst spent the remaining balance of CARES Act administrative
funding of $303,515 received during 2020.
For the Public Housing program,housing authorities receive operating subsidies in accordance with
an operating subsidy funding formula.In general,the calculated subsidy amount is the difference
between an estimate of operating costs minus an estimate of income from rents.Operating
subsidies are subject to annual appropriation by Congress.In 2021,Housing Catalyst,like all
housing authorities nationwide,was funded at approximately 97%of eligibility.During the year
ended December 31,2021,Housing Catalyst also spent the remaining balance of CARES Act
funding from 2020 of $42,362.
Housing Catalyst supports the development and preservation of affordable housing throughout Fort
Collins,with funding from the City,State Division of Housing,Colorado Housing and Finance
Authority,equity investors,and lenders.Along with its partners,Housing Catalyst combines high
quality design with sustainable development principles and sound planning to develop and maintain
a vibrant and diverse affordable housing portfolio.Housing Catalyst employs many strategies to
create and preserve its stock of affordable housing.These strategies include new construction,
acquisition,rehabilitation and preservation of existing housing to create and maintain high-quality
sustainable units.
Fort Collins has an estimated population of 172,321 (2021)and a median household income of
$65,866.The median family income for Larimer County is $107,300.The rental market in Fort
Collins remains tight with rents continuing to increase and vacancy rates around 5-6%.

Between 2011 and 2013,Housing Catalyst analyzed options to dispose of or reposition the 154 units
of public housing operated by the organization.This analysis included both a disposition strategy
under Section 18 of the Housing Act of 1937 (Section 18)and the use of the opportunities available
under the HUD Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD)Program.In late 2013 it was determined
that the best approach would be to reposition the entire portfolio of 154 public housing units using a
combination of disposition and conversion utilizing the HUD RAD program.In mid-2014,Housing
Catalyst submitted an application for a multi-phase development under the RAD program which
proposed to use proceeds from the disposition of the public housing portfolio in seven separate
projects.The seven projects were projected to result in the development,or renovation,of 665 units
of affordable housing within Fort Collins.
In 2019,after completing three projects under the RAD program,which resulted in the disposition of
84 of the 154 public housing units,a decision was made to pursue a disposition strategy once again
for the remaining 70 public housing units using the Section 18 criteria.The first three projects
resulted in the construction or preservation of 453 affordable housing units.The repositioning of the
remaining 70 public housing units is now expected to be completed over the next 2-3 years.Housing
Catalyst plans to utilize proceeds from the Section 18 disposition to renovate and preserve 26
existing units,known as Impala,which will also result in the construction of an additional 40 new
units. A separate renovation will preserve another 15 existing units located at 2155 Plum.
iv
Housing Catalyst began to accumulate the assignment of significant Private Activity Bond (PAB)
authority in 2013 for the purpose of rehabilitating,developing and refinancing affordable housing
units located in Fort Collins,Colorado.Through 2020,Housing Catalyst had secured the following
assignments:

Financial Information
In addition to other funding sources,projects that have used portions of the PAB authority include:
Village on Plum,a 95 unit rehabilitation project;Village on Redwood,a new-build project that
consists of 72 units of affordable housing;Village on Horsetooth,a new-build project of 96 affordable
units;Village on Shields,a 285 unit rehabilitation project;Lakeview on the Rise,a 180 affordable unit
new-build project with a private developer for which Housing Catalyst was the conduit issuer and
Meadows Townhomes,a 51 affordable unit new-build project with a private developer for which
Housing Catalyst was also the conduit issuer.
In early 2021,Housing Catalyst utilized $13.2 million of PAB authority as a conduit issuer for an 84-
unit rehabilitation project in partnership with CARE Housing,Inc.Housing Catalyst is the developer
on this project.Housing Catalyst also utilized additional PAB authority later in 2021 as a conduit
issuer for an 84-unit new-build project with developer, Mercy Housing, Inc.
In 2022,Housing Catalyst will continue the development of Oak 140,a 79-unit new-build project
located in downtown Fort Collins that includes commercial space on the ground floor.This mixed-
use project is in partnership with the Fort Collins Downtown Development Authority.Housing
Catalyst is the developer for the project and will operate the 79 affordable units while the Downtown
Development Authority will own and operate the commercial space with Housing Catalyst retaining a
99-year lease on one of the commercial units for expansion of facilities for staff.The project is being
financed using 4%LIHTC’s,City of Fort Collins grant funds,loan from Housing Catalyst and use of
PAB authority accumulated by Housing Catalyst.Housing Catalyst utilized a general revenue
pledge enhanced by its Standard & Poor's credit rating for the public bond offering.
Management of Housing Catalyst is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control
structure designed to ensure that Housing Catalyst's assets are protected from loss,theft or misuse
and that adequate accounting data are compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements
in conformity with GAAP.Housing Catalyst has designed its internal control structure to provide
reasonable,but not absolute,assurances that those objectives are met.The concept of reasonable
assurance recognizes that:(1)the costs of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be
derived and (2)the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgment by
management.
As a recipient of federal awards,Housing Catalyst is responsible for ensuring that adequate internal
controls are in place to provide compliance with applicable laws,regulations,contracts and grants
related to those programs.Those internal controls are subject to periodic evaluation by
management, and their independent auditors.
v
As part of Housing Catalyst's single audit,tests are made to determine the adequacy of the internal
controls,including that portion related to federal award programs,as well as to learn whether
Housing Catalyst has complied with applicable laws,regulations,contracts and grants.Housing
Catalyst's single audit for the year ended December 31,2021 found no instances of material
weakness in internal control.Audit reports regarding this are included in this Annual Report in the
Single Audit Section.

requirements, and we are submitting it to GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Board of Commissioners
Housing Catalyst
Fort Collins, Colorado
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the business-type activities and the aggregate discretely
presented component units of the Fort Collins Housing Authority (the Authority) as of and for the year
ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively
comprise the Authority’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the business-type activities and the aggregate discretely presented
component units of the Authority, as of December 31, 2021, and the respective changes in financial
position and cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards (Government Auditing Standards), issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the
Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the
Authority and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical
requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. The financial statements of the discretely
presented component units, except for Oak 140, LLLP, were not audited in accordance with Government
Auditing Standards.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Authority has reported a change in its reporting
entity, which has resulted in a restatement of the net position as of January 1, 2021. Our opinions are
not modified with respect to these matters.
2
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; and for the
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions
or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Authority‘s ability to
continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any
currently known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report
that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute
assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and
Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,
as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of
internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that,
individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on
the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks.
Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority‘s internal control. Accordingly, no such
opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the
aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Authority’s ability to continue as a going
concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related
matters that we identified during the audit.

Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s
discussion and analysis, as listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial
statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic
financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to
be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate
operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required
supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the
information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our
inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic
financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information
because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or
provide any assurance.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the Authority’s basic financial statements. The accompanying combining
statements as listed in the table of contents are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are
not a required part of the basic financial statements. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of
Federal Awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by the audit requirements of
Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) and is also not a required
part of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived
from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic
financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling
such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic

Management's Discussion and Analysis
December 31, 2021
Non-current assets consists of long-term developer fees receivable,lease receivable,notes receivable,
long-term prepaid lease,investments in tax credit partnerships and investments in future
developments.Non-current assets increased by nearly $25.7 million (46%)due to increases in notes
receivable of approximately $25.4 million and long-term prepaid lease of approximately $1.3 million,
along with a decrease to long-term developer fees receivable of approximately $770 thousand.
Capital assets include land,buildings,building improvements,furniture and equipment and are shown
net of accumulated depreciation.Capital assets decreased by approximately $943 thousand (10%),
primarily due to current year depreciation and amortization expense and the sale of the Village on
Swallow property, which was nearly fully depreciated.
Current liabilities consist of accounts payable,accrued liabilities,accrued wages and payroll tax,
accrued interest,unearned revenue,balances due to other agencies and current portion of leases and
notes payable.Current liabilities decreased by over $379 thousand (25%),primarily due to decreases
in the balances of accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to regular operations.
Current liabilities payable from restricted assets consists of tenant security deposits payable,family self
sufficiency escrow balances payable,flex fund escrow balances and unspent grant funds.These
liabilities decreased by approximately $341 thousand (39%)as compared to the prior year.The
decrease was primarily due to the current year spending of the remaining CARES Act grant funds
which were received during 2020.
Long-term liabilities consist of leases and notes payable.Long-term liabilities increased by
approximately $19.5 million (1,979%)as compared to the prior year.The increase is primarily due to
the issuance of $19.28 million in revenue bonds which were loaned to Oak 140,LLLP to fund the
construction of a 79-unit building in Fort Collins and an additional $535 thousand loan received from
FirstBank and loaned to FC DDA,LLC to aid in funding the construction of the commercial portion of
the building at Oak 140.
Unrestricted current assets are comprised of cash,receivables,prepaid items and inventories.The
balance of unrestricted current assets increased by over $5.14 million (34%)as compared to
December 31,2020.The increase is primarily due to an increase in unrestricted cash with an increase
of approximately $4.33 million during the year.
Restricted current assets are comprised of cash that is restricted for payment of tenant security
deposits,family self sufficiency program escrow balances,flex fund escrow balances and other
unspent grant funding.The balance of restricted current assets decreased by approximately $1.17
million (72%)as compared to the prior year,primarily due to the spending of HUD CARES Act funding
in the Housing Choice Voucher program during the current year of $335 thousand and the transition of
HUD housing assistance payment funds to HUD-Held reserves of $777 thousand.The funds held in
HUD-Held reserves are available for future housing assistance payments, as needed by the program.

The first category,net investment in capital assets represents Housing Catalyst's equity in land,
buildings,building improvements,furniture and equipment,net of related outstanding debt.The second
category,restricted net position,has external limitations on the way in which these assets can be used.
The last category,unrestricted net position,represents amounts that are available to Housing Catalyst
to be used for any lawful and prudent purpose.Total net position of Housing Catalyst increased by
approximately $10.1 million (13%) from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021.
Deferred inflows consist of the balance of lease income expected to be received over the life of the
lease of the Mason street parking lot.The decrease in deferred inflows of approximately $265 thousand
(83%)as compared to the prior year is mainly due to the revision of the lease during the year and the
recognition of current year lease income.
Housing Catalyst's current ratio reflects the relationship between current assets and current liabilities
and is a measure of Housing Catalyst's ability to pay short-term obligations.At December 31,2021 and
2020, Housing Catalyst's current ratios were 12:5 and 7:1, respectively.
Net position represents the equity of Housing Catalyst after liabilities are subtracted from assets.Net
position is divided into three major categories.

Housing Catalyst
Management's Discussion and Analysis
December 31, 2021
Loan activity during the current fiscal year is as follows:
Economic Outlook
•Loan from FirstBank in the amount of $535,000 with funding loaned to DDA,LLC to assist in
funding the construction of the commercial portion of the building at Oak 140.
•Revenue bonds issues in the amount of $19,280,000 with funds loaned to Oak 140,LLLP,a tax
credit partnership,to assist in funding the construction of the residential portion of the building at
Oak 140.
•Regular principal payments for the Village on Cowen property made to the Heatherington Trust in
the amount of $28,035. The loan was paid off in full in April 2021.
Housing Catalyst remains focused on development of new affordable housing units through both
acquisition and new build strategies.
Housing Choice Voucher ("HCV")program funding utilization is expected to remain close to 100%
going forward based on current leasing levels and the large number of individuals on the waiting list.
The level of HUD funding available for the HCV program,combined with rising rental rates,resulted in
97%utilization of housing assistance payment (HAP)funding and a nearly 90%HCV leased utilization
in 2021.Despite the increase of total reserves,the level of funding received by HUD is expected to
continue to negatively affect the total number of families served through the HCV programs due to
rising rent prices and increased housing demand.
Additional information on the Authority's debt can be found in Note 7 on pages 40 through 52 of this
report.
•Principal payments made to FirstBank on the Mountain Office remodel note in the amount of
$54,715.
•Regular principal payments for the Mason Street parking lot loan made to ANB in the amount of
$31,202.
Demand for affordable housing remains strong in the Fort Collins market.The rental market has
tightened considerably in recent years and rents continue to increase.According to rentcafe.com
apartment rents increased by an average of 11%in Fort Collins during 2021.Additionally,effects of the
COVID-19 pandemic increased the demand for affordable rental housing at a time when expansion of
affordable units has been challenging.This is expected to keep upward pressure on rental rates
overall.Additional funding through federal,state and other emergency programs may keep rental
collection rates at near normal levels in the near term.The longer-term outlook for rent collection and
demand for rental housing will be driven by the length and depth of the economic recovery.

Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies
General
Housing Catalyst is governed by a seven-member Board of Commissioners.
Reporting Entity
• The organization is legally separated (can sue and be sued in their own name)
• Housing Catalyst holds the corporate powers of the organization
• Housing Catalyst appoints a voting majority of the organization’s board
• Housing Catalyst is able to impose its will on the organization
• The organization has the potential to impose a financial benefit/burden on Housing Catalyst
• There is fiscal dependency by the organization on Housing Catalyst
Blended Component Units
Housing Catalyst,formally known as Fort Collins Housing Authority (Housing Catalyst)is a corporate body
created in May 1971 and uses available federal,state,and local resources to serve the residents of Fort
Collins,Colorado by upgrading and maintaining the existing housing stock,encouraging the construction of
new housing affordable to low and moderate income households,and providing low and moderate income
families and senior households with decent,safe,and affordable rental housing opportunities.Housing
Catalyst owns and operates 70 units of family housing and administers 1,082 Housing Choice Vouchers
(HCV),174 Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH)vouchers,50 Family Unification Program (FUP)
vouchers,6 Foster Youth to Independence (FYI)vouchers,25 Emergency Housing (EHV)vouchers and 243
Five Year Mainstream vouchers.
Housing Catalyst’s financial statements include the accounts of all Housing Catalyst operations.The criteria
for including organizations as component units within the reporting entity,as set forth in Section 2100 of the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board’s (GASB)Codification of Government Accounting and Financial
Reporting Standards, include whether:
Included within the financial reporting entity of Housing Catalyst as a blended component unit is the Larimer
County Housing Authority (LCHA).The purpose of LCHA is to provide safe and sanitary accommodations to
the low and moderate-income residents of the County of Larimer.Over the past several years,Housing
Catalyst has maintained a contractual relationship with LCHA for the administration of its housing activities.
However,in January 1997,the Larimer County Board of Supervisors assigned all interests in LCHA to Housing
Catalyst,as LCHA was deemed immaterial with respect to the overall functions of the County.Thus,despite
being a legally separate entity and receiving funds directly from the Department of Housing and Urban
Development,LCHA has been accounted for as a blended component unit of Housing Catalyst as the
members of Housing Catalyst's Board also acts as the governing body of LCHA and LCHA's operations are
fully the responsibility of the management of Housing Catalyst.Accordingly,the balances and transactions of
this component unit are reported within the proprietary funds of Housing Catalyst.

Basis of Accounting
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Accounts and Notes Receivable
Inventory
Inventories are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out method.
Capital Assets
Management considers receivables to be fully collectible.If amounts become uncollectible,they are charged
to operations in the period in which that determination is made.Accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America require that the allowance method be used to recognize bad debts;however,the
effect of using the direct write-off method is not materially different from the results that would have been
obtained under the allowance method.
Housing Catalyst accounts for its operations in one fund type,the enterprise fund.Enterprise funds are
accounted for on the flow of economic resources measurement focus and use the accrual basis of accounting.
Revenue is recognized when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred.All assets,
deferred outflows,liabilities and deferred inflows associated with the operations of Housing Catalyst are
included on the statement of net position. All significant interfund transactions have been eliminated.
Housing Catalyst's cash deposits can only be invested in HUD approved investments:direct obligations of the
Federal Government backed by the full faith and credit of the United States,obligations of government
agencies,securities of government sponsored agencies,demand and savings deposits,time deposits,
repurchase agreements, and other securities approved by HUD.
For the purpose of the statement of cash flows,Housing Catalyst considers cash deposits and highly liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.Certificates of
deposit are also considered to be cash equivalents due to their highly liquid nature and insignificant risk of
change in value due to changes in interest rates.Housing Catalyst uses certificates of deposit as part of the
entities cash management.
Land,buildings and improvements,and equipment are recorded at cost,including indirect development costs.
Housing Catalyst uses a capitalization threshold of $5,000.Donated capital assets are valued at their
acquisition value on the date donated.The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the
value of the asset or materially extend lives are not capitalized.
The accounts of Housing Catalyst are organized on the basis of programs,each of which is considered a
separate accounting entity.The operations of each program are accounted for with a separate set of self-
balancing accounts that comprise its assets and deferred outflows,liabilities and deferred inflows,net position,
revenues, and expenses. Housing Catalyst classifies its programs as proprietary.

Investment in Tax Credit Partnerships and Future Developments
Operating Revenues and Expenses
Fraud Recovery
Developer Fee Revenue Recognition
Investments in future developments represents costs incurred by Housing Catalyst for future developments
and are recorded at cost until a project is established.
Housing Catalyst reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable.Recoverability is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future net undiscounted cash flow expected to be
generated and any estimated proceeds from the eventual disposition.If the long-lived assets are considered to
be impaired,the impairment to be recognized is measured at the amount by which the carrying amount of the
asset exceeds the fair value as determined from an appraisal,discounted cash flows analysis,or other
valuation technique. There were no impairment losses recognized during 2021.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as
follows:
Investments in tax credit partnerships are accounted for under the equity method.Investments are stated at
cost,plus (minus)Housing Catalyst’s equity in net earnings (losses)since acquisition,less any distributions
received.
HUD requires Housing Catalyst to account for monies recovered from tenants who committed fraud or
misrepresentation in the application process for rent calculations and now owe additional rent for prior periods
or retroactive rent as fraud recovery. The monies recovered are shared by HUD and the local authority.
Housing Catalyst earns development fees based on agreements with certain partnerships for the development
of affordable housing.Developer fees are generally recognized under the percentage-of-completion method
and in accordance with the corresponding development agreement.
Housing Catalyst considers all revenues and expenses (including HUD intergovernmental revenues and
expenses)as operating items with the exception of interest expense,interest revenue,and gain/loss on
disposal of capital assets which are considered non-operating for financial reporting purposes.

Housing Catalyst’s annual budgets are the annual contracts,which are with,and approved by,HUD.No
budget to actual statements are presented in this report,as housing authorities are not legally required to
adopt a budget under the Local Government Budget Law of Colorado.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
As of December 31,2021,unearned revenue consisted of $15,186 of prepaid rent from tenants,$38,977 of
unspent EHV service fee grant funds,$109,109 of unspent Larimer County Behavioral Services grant funds,
$10,000 of unspent Kaiser Foundation financial health initiative grant funds and $39,637 of prepaid land lease
funds.The Larimer County Behavior Services grant must be spent by September 30,2022 on specific costs
related to Mason Place Permanent Supportive Housing. All unspent funds must be returned to the grantors.
•Restricted Net Position –Consists of assets and deferred outflows less related liabilities and deferred
inflows reported in the basic statement of net position that are subject to restraints on their use by HUD.
•Unrestricted Net Position –Consists of assets and deferred outflows less related liabilities and deferred
inflows reported in the basic statement of net position that are not subject to restraints on their use.

funding and the ability to explore new programs to assist the community.The transition will not directly impact

Housing Catalyst receives significant financial assistance from the United States Government in the form of
contracts and grants.Entitlement to these resources is generally contingent upon compliance with the terms
and conditions of the contract or grant agreements and applicable federal regulations,including the
expenditure of the resources for eligible purposes.Substantially all federal grants and contracts are subject to
a financial and compliance audit under federal regulations.Disallowed costs as a result of compliance audits
become a liability of Housing Catalyst.Management believes that the potential for a material liability due to
future audit disallowance is remote.

Independent Auditor’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and
Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with
Government Auditing Standards
To the Board of Commissioners
Housing Catalyst
Fort Collins, Colorado
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards,
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the business‐type
activities and the aggregate discretely presented component units of the Housing Catalyst as of and for
the year ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively
comprise Housing Catalyst’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated July
26, 2022. The financial statements of the discretely presented component units, except for Oak 140,
LLLP, were not audited in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and, accordingly, this report
does not include reporting on internal control over financial reporting or instances of reportable
noncompliance associated with the discretely presented component units, except for Oak 140, LLLP.
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Housing Catalyst's
internal control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial
statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Housing Catalyst’s
internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Housing Catalyst’s
internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a
timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control
that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged
with governance.
82
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this
section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that have not been identified.
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Housing Catalyst's financial statements are
free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws,
regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and
material effect on the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those
provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The
results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be
reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the
entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and
compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Independent Auditor’s Report on Compliance for The Major Federal Program; Report on Internal
Control Over Compliance; and Report on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Required by
the Uniform Guidance
To the Board of Commissioners
Housing Catalyst
Fort Collins, Colorado
Report on Compliance for the Major Federal Program
Opinion on The Major Federal Program
We have audited Housing Catalyst’s (the Authority) compliance with the types of compliance
requirements identified as subject to audit in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct
and material effect on the major federal program of the Authority for the year ended December 31,
2021. The Authority’s major federal program is identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of
the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
In our opinion, the Authority complied, in all material respects, with the compliance requirements
referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal program for
the year ended December 31, 2021.
Basis for Opinion on the Major Federal Program
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America (GAAS); the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing
Standards); and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform
Guidance). Our responsibilities under those standards and the Uniform Guidance are further described
in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section of our report.
We are required to be independent of the Authority and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in
accordance with relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence
we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on compliance for each
major federal program. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the Authority’s compliance
with the compliance requirements referred to above.
84
Responsibilities of Management for Compliance
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements referred to above and for the design,
implementation, and maintenance of effective internal control over compliance with the requirements
of laws, statutes, regulations, rules and provisions of contracts or grant agreements applicable to the
Authority ‘s federal programs.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with the
compliance requirements referred to above occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an
opinion on the Authority’s compliance based on our audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of
assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform Guidance will always detect
material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from
fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance
requirements referred to above is considered material, if there is a substantial likelihood that,
individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the
report on compliance about the Authority’s compliance with the requirements of each major federal
program as a whole.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, and the Uniform
Guidance, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the Authority’s compliance with the compliance
requirements referred to above and performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances.
Obtain an understanding of the Authority’s internal control over compliance relevant to the
audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances and to test
and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Authority’s internal
control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in
internal control over compliance that we identified during the audit.
85
Report on Internal Control over Compliance
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over
compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their
assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance
requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over
compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such
that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance
requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A
significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies,
in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is
less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit
attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Compliance section above and was not designed to identify all
deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant
deficiencies in internal control over compliance. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not
identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material
weaknesses, as defined above. However, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal
control over compliance may exist that were not identified.
Our audit was not designed for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal
control over compliance. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our
testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of
the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

Housing Catalyst Five-Year Agency Plan 2018-2022 Page 1
2018-2022
Housing Catalyst is a Fort Collins, mission-driven real estate developer and the largest property
management company in northern Colorado. Housing Catalyst provides sustainable, long-term
housing solutions, and now serves more than 2,200 families per year. Employing innovative
programs and resident support systems, Housing Catalyst offers critical tools and resources that
families need while creating vibrant, sustainable communities throughout Fort Collins.
Founded in 1971 with just one employee, Housing Catalyst now has more than 70 employees,
an annual operating budget of over $27 million, and assets owned and managed totaling over
$166 million. The organization’s primary sources of operating funding are the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (Housing Choice Voucher pass-through
funding), property rental income, real estate developer fees, and project -specific
competitive public and private grants. Housing Catalyst does not directly receive any City of
Fort Collins general funds.
Situational Summary:
Fort Collins has a population estimated to be 171,100. The city proper has a population density
of 2,653 people per square mile (984/square kilometer). The Fort Collins-Loveland Metropolitan
Statistical Area (MSA) has a population estimated to be 339,993.
The rental market has tightened considerably, and rents continue to increase. The market
currently has a vacancy rate of approximately 3%. The national economic condition continues
to create challenges for both renters and rental property owners. It will continue to be
important for Housing Catalyst to respond to the market conditions whenever possible.
According to the 2015-2019 City of Fort Collins Affordable Housing Strategic Plan, “Over the
course of the next 25 years, the long-term goal identified in this plan is to increase the amount
of affordable housing units to 10% of the overall housing stock. That means that the amount of
affordable housing units as a percentage of the overall housing stock must increase one
percentage point every five years. By using the same assumptions as the short-term goal, this
means that Fort Collins will have approximately 87,807 housing units by 2040. To reach the 10%
goal, 8,781 of the overall housing units in Fort Collins must be affordable by 2040. This requires
5,706 affordable housing units to come online by 2040, which translates to an average of 228
units per year. What this means is that for every 5 -year plan between now and 2040, the City
will have to increase the amount of affordable housing by one percentage point as a ratio to the
overall housing stock. This would represent a historically high rate of affordable housing
production.”
Housing Catalyst Five-Year Agency Plan 2018-2022 Page 2
Housing Catalyst Entities:
Housing Catalyst carries out its mission by managing eleven separate entities, including:
1. The City of Fort Collins Housing Authority doing business as Housing Catalyst
2. Larimer County Housing Authority (Intergovernmental Agreement)
3. Villages, Ltd. 501c3 (Management Agreement)
4. Housing Catalyst, LLC (Wholly owned LLC)
5. Wellington Housing Authority (Management Agreement)
6. Village on Elizabeth (Housing Tax Credit Partnership)
7. Village on Stanford (Housing Tax Credit Partnership)
8. Redtail Ponds Permanent Supportive Housing (Housing Tax Credit Partnership)
9. Village on Redwood (Housing Tax Credit Partnership
10. Village on Horsetooth (Housing Tax Credit Partnership)
11. Village on Shields (Housing Tax Credit Partnership)
In addition, Housing Catalyst or its affiliated entity is a formal partner in the following
housing developments:
1. Provincetowne, CARE Housing
2. Springfield Court, Mercy Housing
3. Legacy Senior Apartments, Cornerstone
4. Lakeview on the Rise, Pedcor (2019)
Housing Catalyst also administers the Veterans Administration Supportive Housing (VASH)
voucher program on behalf of HUD and the Veterans Administration in Weld County.
Future Forecast:
The instability of funding continually presents challenges for staff managing Housing Catalyst
goals and budgets. The national economic conditions will continue to contribute to local
housing challenges. Congressional appropriations are often uncertain when Housing Catalyst
annual budgets are created and staff must rely on estimates based on Congressional actions
and historic data to estimate annual subsidies. Continuing resolutions and sequestration have
significantly impacted operations. Congress has been unwilling to pass meaningful reform
legislation. Continuing to increase sources of revenue other than those dependent upon
congressional appropriations will be crucial to the sustainability of Housing Catalyst’s current
programs and future growth.
To maintain an investment grade credit rating, Housing Catalyst must balance having a certain
level of financial stability against its overall public purpose goals. Housing authorities with large
portions of their income derived from federal subsidies are exposed to weak margins and a
negative change in net assets to equity in any given year. In fiscal 2016, 61.45% of Housing
Catalyst's revenues came from government sources, including HUD, grants, Housing Assistance
Payments (HAP) and other federal agencies. Therefore, its revenue and Expenses Before Inter-
est, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) are subject to changes in congressional
appropriations.

ACTION ITEM
To: Villages Ltd. Board of Commissioners
From: Kristin Fritz, Chief Real Estate Officer
Meeting Date: October 20, 2022
Action Item: Approval of VIL-RES-2022-10-01 Resolution to Authorize Acquisition of Remington Row
Alignment to Strategic Plan: This resolution supports Goal 2: Increase the Supply of Affordable Housing
and the Dispose of Obsolete/Unsustainable Models and Restructure Portfolio strategy by acquiring
properties that can be purchased and operated sustainably and strategically.
Background: Housing Catalyst, LLC entered into a Contract to Buy and Sell Real Estate dated May 5,
2022 to purchase Remington Row at 705, 711, and 715 Remington. The three buildings include 11 units
consisting of 28 bedrooms and 28 bathrooms that are designed as pods and are leased by bedroom. The
purchase contract will be assigned to Villages Ltd. upon Board approval of HC-RES-2022-10-02 and the
property will be owned and operated by Villages, Ltd.
Description: The opportunity to acquire a property like Remington Row is unique for Villages Ltd. Its
location on Remington Street between Laurel Street and Plum Street is desirable for residents and
efficient to operate as it is close to other Housing Catalyst properties, including Oak 140. The design of
the property is distinctive, offering pod living where residents lease individual, private bedrooms and
bathrooms and share kitchens and common area spaces. Two of the three buildings were built in 2014
and the other was renovated in 2015. Comprehensive due diligence has been conducted and no
concerns have been found.
The property is unrestricted and will operate as is while collecting information to determine its best
future use. Investing in property acquisitions that can be operated more cost effectively moves Housing
Catalyst directly toward restructuring its portfolio to reach its goal of increasing the supply of affordable
housing.
Fiscal Impact: The costs associated with the purchase of Remington Row total $3,920,000, and include
the purchase price, Housing Catalyst overhead, due diligence costs, consultants, and funding a capital
reserve and an operating reserve. The acquisition will be funded from Villages Ltd. unrestricted cash.
Proceeds from the sale of 10 units in the Villages Ltd. portfolio, estimated at $2,500,000, will be used
toward the acquisition of the 28 units at Remington Row.
Recommendation: The Development Committee and Housing Catalyst staff recommend approval of VIL-
RES-2022-10-01 Resolution to Authorize Acquisition of Remington Row.

ACTION ITEM
To: Villages Ltd. Board of Commissioners
From: Kristin Fritz, Chief Real Estate Officer
Meeting Date: October 20, 2022
Action Item: Approval of VIL-RES-2022-10-02 Resolution to Sell 10 Units
Alignment to Strategic Plan: This resolution supports Goal 2: Increase the Supply of Affordable Housing
and the Dispose of Obsolete/Unsustainable Models and Restructure Portfolio strategy by selling small,
scattered site properties and properties with intensive capital needs, and acquiring properties that can
be purchased and operated sustainably and strategically.
Background: Housing Catalyst has, over time, been pursuing several methods to reduce its scattered site
portfolio that is expensive to operate and maintain and reduce its properties with extensive capital
needs and leverage those resources into properties that can be operated more efficiently and
sustainably.
Description: Housing Catalyst owns single family homes at 327 N. Howes, 331 N. Howes, and 817
Cherry; a duplex at 813 Cherry; and a 5-unit building at 366 E. Mountain. These 10 units have extensive
capital needs. In fact, a recent Capital needs Assessment conducted on 366 E. Mountain estimated a
renovation cost of $41,223 per unit. Additionally, operating and managing small numbers of units in
scattered sites is an inefficient and obsolete operational model. Selling these units and investing the
proceeds in acquiring properties that can be operated more cost effectively moves Housing Catalyst
directly toward restructuring its portfolio to reach its goal of increasing the supply of affordable housing.
Fiscal Impact: The estimated proceeds from the sale of these 10 units is $2,500,000, which will be used
toward the acquisition of the 28 units at Remington Row for $3,920,000 that will occur in late 2022.
Selling scattered site properties and properties with intensive capital needs and using proceeds to
purchase properties that Villages Ltd. can own and operate sustainably and strategically will have a
positive long-term fiscal impact.
Recommendation: The Development Committee and Housing Catalyst staff recommend approval of VIL-
RES-2022-10-02 Resolution to Sell 10 Units.

ACTION ITEM
To: Villages Ltd. Board of Commissioners
From: Kristin Fritz, Chief Real Estate Officer
Meeting Date: October 20, 2022
Action Item: Approval of VIL-RES-2022-10-03 Resolution Authorizing Acquisition of 15 Public Housing
Units
Alignment to Strategic Plan: This resolution supports Goal 2: Increase the Supply of Affordable Housing
and the Dispose of Obsolete/Unsustainable Models and Restructure Portfolio strategy by completing the
disposition of all public housing through the Section 18 program and acquiring properties that can be
purchased and operated sustainably and strategically.
Background: Housing Catalyst received approval from HUD in July 2022 to dispose of its 48 remaining
public housing units including the 15 units in one building at 2155 W. Plum. Not only has 2155 W. Plum
suffered from decades of Congressional underfunding for the public housing program, but Housing
Catalyst has also been constrained by HUD’s restrictions on using the financing methods a private owner
would use to perform repairs and modernization.
Description: Housing Catalyst’s Section 18 Disposition plan for 2155 W. Plum, which has been approved
by the Board of Commissioners, includes transferring the units to Villages, Ltd., transitioning residents to
voucher-based assistance, and using proceeds from the sale of other public housing units to Elevation
Community Land Trust and other funding sources to renovate the property in 2023-2024.
Implementation of the plan also requires transferring the units Villages, Ltd. as the entity that will own
and operate the property when it is no longer public housing.
Fiscal Impact: The cost of this acquisition of 15 units is $1. The acquisition by Villages Ltd. will have a
positive long-term fiscal impact as it adds units to the portfolio for a nominal cost and allows the units to
be operated in a more efficient and sustainable manner than was possible under the public housing
program.
Recommendation: The Development Committee and Housing Catalyst staff recommend approval of VIL-
RES-2022-10-03 Resolution Authorizing Acquisition of 15 Public Housing Units.
RESOLUTION NO. VIL-RES-2022-10-03

Catalyst”);

residential units for low and moderate income households;
WHEREAS the purpose of the Villages is to facilitate the mission of Housing Catalyst;
WHEREAS Housing Catalyst is the owner of 15 public housing units located at 2155 West
Plum Street, Fort Collins, Colorado (the “Public Housing Units”);
WHEREAS the Public Housing Units were acquired using funds provided by the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”);
WHEREAS Housing Catalyst is disposing of the Public Housing Units under the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development Section 18 program;
WHEREAS the Villages is willing to acquire the Public Housing Units;
WHEREAS upon sale of the Public Housing Units by Housing Catalyst to the Villages,
HUD will release the Public Housing Units from the Declarations of Trust made by Housing
Catalyst for the benefit of HUD.
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Villages has determined that it would be in the
best interest of the Villages to acquire the Public Housing Units.
NOW THEREFORE,
BE IT RESOLVED that the Villages is hereby authorized to acquire the Public Housing
Units for a purchase price of one dollar ($1.00).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the President of the Villages is hereby authorized
to execute such documents and instruments as may be necessary to acquire the Public Housing
Units from Housing Catalyst.
