AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOARD
REGULAR MEETING
1 /4 /202 4 – M I N U TE S Page 2
B. Private Activity Bonds – Sue Beck-Ferkiss
• Sue Beck-Ferkiss gave the Board an overview of Private Activity Bonds (PABs), which
are conduit debt issued in the local government’s name but repaid by individuals or
entities that are not part of that government. Issuers can be states, local governments,
or housing authorities. In Fort Collins, Housing Catalyst and Colorado Housing and
Finance Authority (CHFA) are the primary users of the City’s Private Activity Bond
Capacity. PABs allow debt to be issued at favorable tax-exempt rates. The interest paid
is also exempt from federal income tax.
• PABs are allowed for several things, but Fort Collins prioritizes their use for affordable
housing development and rehabilitation. Annually, the IRS distributes PAB Capacity to
all states based on a population-based formula. CHFA requires their use for Federal 4%
Low-Income Housing Tax Credit financing, which technically is non-competitive, but due
to scarcity of this resource, has become competitive. Bond capacity is required for
approximately 50-55% of the project cost.
• The application process has a March 15th deadline so that City staff have plenty of time
to get the request to City Council. The City has an internal committee that reviews PAB
requests, makes a recommendation to the Affordable Housing Board for approval, then
takes the recommendation to City Council by August 15th to ensure they can pass a
Resolution assigning the bond capacity to an issuer by September 15th.
DISCUSSION
• If a project developer has significant debt elsewhere, is that considered?
You can combine tax-exempt and taxable debt together. Since only 50-55% of the
project costs can be financed through tax-exempt, you won’t get the PAB unless you
receive financing to complete the rest of the project.
• If a bond is defaulted on, who is the responsible party for paying it back?
The issuer. There is a fee associated with issuing bonds.
• Does PAB get allocated equally by population or will some places get more than their
population warrants?
Allocation is based on population, but the statewide balance gives priority for different
reasons and that is not based on population.
• Who chooses where the PAB capacity is assigned?
The applicant. If they are working with an issuer, they will let the City know who that is
(typically Housing Catalyst or CHFA) and then the City does the assignment to the
proper issuer.
• Why does the City allocate PABs instead of the IRS?
Local control and local priorities. Not every community uses PABs for affordable
AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOARD
REGULAR MEETING
1 /4 /202 4 – M I N U TE S Page 3
housing.
• Could a project in Fort Collins apply for both City and County PAB?
Yes. Housing Catalyst has done so for several projects.
• What are Single-Family Mortgage Revenue Bonds?
They are for down payment assistance programs. The City has not used PABs for this
purpose. The City used to have a down payment assistance program, but it was
discontinued because our partners were doing it better and we were not getting loans
out.
• What does bond capacity mean in terms of what you can do with PAB to raise money
for a housing project?
Every affordable housing project that uses 4% low income housing tax credits is
required to access tax-exempt, Private Activity Bond Cap. For every project, there are
different funding sources – grants, debt, and income. If a project has 4% tax credits, one
of the requirements is that 50% of the cost must be covered using Private Activity Bond
Capacity. The reason it's beneficial is because it’s tax-exempt debt, so it costs less to a
project than other debt options. One of the bills currently being considered at the federal
level is to lower the threshold of PABs from 50% to 25% because affordable housing
developers are constrained with project debt being financed with PABs.
• Is the amount of interest that a project pays back standardized through the IRS?
No, it’s negotiable.
• Why does City Council have to approve PABs?
Because PABs come from the federal government and the City has an internal process
for using them or deploying them.
• Are PABs tracked?
Yes, there’s a formal process for tracking PABs that must be completed every year.
Developers and their issuers must report on what’s come in, what’s gone out, and who
it’s gone to.
C. Retreat Planning for January – John Singleton and Sue Beck-Ferkiss
• The Affordable Housing Board Retreat will be on Friday, January 12 from 11am-3pm at
the Fort Collins Museum of Discovery. James Redmond from the Communications and
Public Involvement Office (CPIO) and Ted Hewitt from the City Attorney’s Office will be
joining the Board for a portion of the retreat. The Board will be using the retreat to plan
for the upcoming year and focus on themes such as communication, education, and
AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOARD

outreach. Board members were encouraged to come to the retreat with questions for
James and Ted, and ideas about potential focus areas and activities for 2024.
D. Board Member Ideas

6. BOARD MEMBER REPORTS
a. Meeting Logistics

• Sue Beck-Ferkiss explained that board elections typically occur in March, but with the
board terms changing, there is more flexibility. Since new board members will be
onboarded sometime this summer, the Board agreed to keep the current Board Officers
through the summer and hold elections in either August or September. Sue will
communicate this information to the City Clerk’s Office.

REGULAR MEETING

4. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
January Board Minutes will be voted on at the March 7 Affordable Housing Board meeting due to a
lack of quorum.
5. NEW BUSINESS
A. Myles Crane, Senior Advisory Board
Myles Crane introduced himself as a member of the Senior Advisory Board. He shared that The
Senior Advisory Board will be hosting an event on Wednesday, February 14 at the Senior
Center where Sue Beck-Ferkiss from Social Sustainability and JC Ward from Neighborhood
Services will be presenting. Representatives from the 55+ Mobile Park organization will also be
attending the event.
B. Request for Removal of Restrictive Covenant from Habitat for Humanity Home – Beth
Rosen, Social Sustainability
Beth Rosen explained that Habitat for Humanity is asking to refund the City’s investment in
exchange for a release from a contract and the accompanying release of restrictive covenants.
In 2022, Habitat for Humanity was approved for a request of $80,000 to build a home. Part of
the contract included a promissory note and an agreement of restrictive covenants that requires
the home stay in the affordable housing inventory for 20 years. Habitat for Humanity is nearing
completion of the home, and although the chosen homeowner has completed all the sweat
equity over the last 2 years, their income has increased, and they no longer meet the eligibility
requirements. Since there is an agreement of restrictive covenants, Beth must take the request
to City Council. Beth explained that she is asking for a recommendation from the Board to
support Habitat for Humanity’s request to be released from their contract with the City. If
supported, the $80,000 will go back into this year’s spring competitive process for allocation to a
new affordable housing project.
DISCUSSION:
• Would the City lose this house from permanent affordability?
Yes. Habitat for Humanity could choose to restrict it at a higher income level [if the City cancels
the contract and releases the covenant]. They also have the first right of refusal upon resell from
the chosen buyer, so they could buy it back and return to the City in a future competitive process
cycle asking for subsidy to restrict it and keep it in the affordable housing inventory.
• Was the land the home was built on from the Land Bank?
No, there is not any investment from the City. If this contract is cancelled, the City would simply
not make any payments to Habitat for Humanity for this particular home.
• Has this happened with any other homes in this neighborhood?
• No. There are other Habitat for Humanity builds where this has happened, but no others in this
neighborhood.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOARD
REGULAR MEETING
2/1 /202 4 – M I N U TE S Page 3
Bob Pawlikowski motioned that the Board support Habitat for Humanity’s request for
cancellation of the contract and a release of the restrictive covenants. Stefanie Berganini
seconded. Jennifer Bray abstained. Approved 3-0.
C. Housing Strategic Plan Updates – Meaghan Overton, Social Sustainability
• City Council is in the process of defining their priorities for the next term. One of the
council priorities focuses on operationalizing City resources to build and preserve
affordable housing. Other priorities being considered that relate to housing are one
regarding economic development and small business support that has a connection to
non-profit housing developers, and some climate action priorities around electrification
and transportation, which prioritize neighborhood centers.
• A first reading of foundational changes to the Land Use Code is scheduled for April 2.
• City staff are hoping to have 2 work sessions on occupancy prior to Council acting on
this item on June 4.
• A Housing Summit will be held sometime in 2024, but exact timing has not yet been
determined.
• The City has hired a Housing and Equity Data Analyst who will start on February 20.
D. Board Priority Committee Reports
• Outreach, Education and Partnerships
• John Singleton shared that he has an ongoing list of entities that he would like
the Board to try and engage with this year. He is also working on building out a
one-page document that lists the Board’s 2024 mission and goals and can be
used as a reference for guests attending meetings and/or events hosted by the
Board.
• Knowledge Repository
• Bob Pawlikowski shared that he and Jennifer Bray are working on getting an
updated count of how many subsidized affordable housing units are currently in

Definitions
The table below contains definitions of technical terms that are used throughout the report.
Term Definition
Affordable Housing A housing development and/or unit that limits the
rent or prices to below market rates,and restricts
use of those units to households at certain income
levels,in return for public and/or private subsidy.
Area Median Income A measure defined by the HUD that,generally,is
used to determine affordable housing eligibility
for households based on their county of residence
and size (number of persons within the household)
compared to the median income for a house-hold
of that size within a county.
Low Income Housing Tax Credit Tax credits allocated to investors that contribute
equity to affordable housing development and
preservation projects by the Colorado Housing and
Finance Authority.Investors may credit against
their state or federal income taxes,depending on
the type of credit allocated to the investor.
Public Housing A specific type of affordable housing first created
by the U.S.Congress through the enactment of
the U.S.Housing Act of 1937.Public housing
provides deeply affordable rental units for the
lowest income Coloradans through annual capital
and operating subsidies from HUD,and are
operated by public housing authorities.Numerous
federal laws limit the extent to which public
housing units can be developed and constructed,
as such they constitute a minority of Colorado’s
affordable housing stock.
Public Housing Authority Quasi-governmental organizations that own and
operate affordable housing,often administering
5
voucher and public housing programs on behalf of
HUD.
Private Activity Bonds Bonds issued by or on behalf of a local or state
government for the purpose of providing special
financing benefits for qualified projects,often
affordable housing developments.Interest earned
on the bonds by investors is exempt from federal
income taxes.
Re-syndication Additional capital financing can be provided to
existing affordable housing developments through
re-syndication,or the allocation of new tax
credits.This new infusion of equity,along with
additional capital funds from the Division of
Housing and other funders,has the effect of
preserving the below market rates of the
development and can often rehabilitate the
existing units as well.
Resident-owned Community A Resident-owned Community is a housing
development where residents collectively own
and manage the community,often utilizing a
cooperative or condominium model,providing
them with a greater say in decision-making.This
model empowers residents and serves as an
alternative to traditional landlord-controlled
housing communities.
Single Family Owner Occupied Home
Rehabilitation Program
A service offered by community based non-profit
organizations that assists homeowners in repairing
or updating the structure of their home or systems
and components within it.Funds cover
administrative,labor,and materials costs and can
assist with everything from emergency repair to
rehabilitation and modification to improve the
health and safety of residents.
6
Supportive Housing A housing unit,development or program that
combines non-time-limited and low-barrier
affordable housing assistance with wrap-around
supportive services for people experiencing
homelessness,as well as other people with
disabilities.
Transitional Housing A development that is designed to provide housing
and appropriate supportive services to homeless
persons to facilitate movement to independent
living.The housing is short-term,typically less
than 24 months.In addition to providing safe
housing for those in need,other services are
available to help participants become
self-sufficient.
Voucher Funding provided to a landlord,on behalf of a
tenant,that covers a portion of their rent and
utilities.Can take the form of a Tenant Based
Voucher (TBV)which is attached to a household
that may be used at the unit of their choice,or,
conversely,a Project Based Voucher (PBV)which
is attached to an individual unit.

Introduction
Mission
The Division of Housing (DOH)partners with local communities to create housing opportunities
for Coloradans who face the greatest challenges to accessing affordable,safe and secure
homes.
Working with the State Housing Board,DOH supports projects ranging from homelessness
prevention to homeownership.Our work includes:
●Increasing and preserving Colorado’s inventory of affordable housing
●Managing rental assistance vouchers
●Creating and supporting collaborative approaches to end homelessness
●Regulating Mobile Home Parks and the construction and installation of factory-built
structures
Increasing the availability of safe,affordable housing in Colorado is DOH’s top priority.DOH
assists developers,housing authorities,non-profit agencies,and local governments in creating
affordable housing through gap funding for acquisition,rehabilitation and new construction.
These grants and loans are competitive and funding is based on timing,availability and
department priorities.

Statutory Basis of Report
Governor Jared Polis enacted HB21-1028 into law on June 30,2021,which created the Annual
Public Report on Funding of Affordable Housing.
Preservation and Production (codified at 24-32-705.5 of Colorado Revised Statutes,or C.R.S.).
This law requires the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA)to prepare a report in 2021,and
each year thereafter,which is to be presented to its Joint Committees of Reference in the
General Assembly at State Measurement for Accountable,Responsive,and Transparent
Government Act (or SMART Act)hearings (generally held in January of each year)and
published online.The scope of this report includes many,but not all,housing programs
overseen by the Division of Housing within DOLA and particularly focuses on programs that
fund the new construction,rehabilitation,or acquisition of rental or for-sale affordable
housing,temporary or emergency housing such as shelters or transitional housing,and down
payment assistance programs.More information on the statutory basis of this report may be
found at C.R.S.24-32-705.5.

Director ’s Letter
Dear Stakeholders,
As we reflect on the progress
made in the past year,the Division
of Housing is honored to present
the Annual Report for State Fiscal
Year 2022-23 (SFY23),spanning
from July 1,2022,to June 30,
2023.
This period has been marked by
significant strides in affordable housing
development,homeowner rehabilitation,
and down payment assistance,resulting
in the creation or preservation of 7,394
affordable housing opportunities,which
also includes 40 assisted living units and 40 shelter beds.
The challenges faced by Coloradans in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and
escalating housing costs persist,but we find solace in the turning of the page towards a future
where affordable,safe,and secure homes are within reach for all.Our success is deeply
rooted in historic investments in affordable housing,coupled with the unwavering
commitment of our diverse partners –from non-profit organizations and housing authorities to
developers,financial institutions,localities,and beyond.
In our commitment to operational excellence,the Division of Housing has worked through the
backlog of grant and loan contracts it saw grow during the pandemic.DOH and its partners
closed nearly $100 million of backlogged projects from July 1st through December 31st,2023
for more than 2,000 housing units.This is in addition to DOH’s ongoing work.We are
dedicated to further enhancing the efficiency of our contracting process in the upcoming
months to ensure the lasting impact of our collective work.
In a groundbreaking year,Colorado witnessed key shifts in affordable housing initiatives.The
American Rescue Plan Act of 2022 played a pivotal role by enabling $400 million for
transformative affordable housing programs.These initiatives,meticulously recommended by
10
the Transformational Affordable Housing Task Force and approved by the state legislature in
2022,were effectively implemented with demand for their funding far exceeding available
amounts.
Additionally,November 2022 saw the approval of Proposition 123 by voters,injecting
substantial funding into six pivotal programs,two of which are managed by the Division of
Housing.To access this funding,local and tribal governments committed to 3-year housing
development goals,and the Division of Housing has already secured 202 commitments.These
decisive changes underscore the commitment to advancing affordable housing solutions by the
State and localities,marking a significant chapter in our ongoing mission.
Lastly,in the wake of the 2023 November election,Governor Polis convened a special
legislative session resulting in the allocation of $30 million in emergency rental assistance
(ERA),slated for distribution by June 30,2024.
Alongside our progress and successes,it is important to recognize that despite the
achievements of the past year,challenges persist in housing affordability.Many individuals
still struggle to secure quality housing,develop new housing,or find shelter.We eagerly
anticipate the new ideas,policies and programs that will enable the Division of Housing to
continue addressing these pressing issues.
As we navigate the complexities of the present and look toward the future,the Division of
Housing remains steadfast in its commitment to serving the people of Colorado.We extend
our gratitude to all applicants and communities for their invaluable partnership,making our
collective efforts and accomplishments possible.
Sincerely,
Alison George

Housing Needs
Ensuring access to affordable housing is a fundamental requirement for the well-being of all
Coloradans,fostering safe and healthy living conditions while promoting financial security and
economic opportunities.While strides have been made to address challenges related to
affordable housing,as detailed in this report,considerable work remains as housing
affordability continues to elude many.Over the past decade,the median cost of rent in
Colorado has surged by 70%,from $939 to $1,5941,and the median home loan amount has
seen a 57%increase,climbing from $207,000 to $325,0002.This rise in housing costs has
profound implications for Coloradans,with an estimated 365,000 households dedicating more
than half of their income to housing expenses,resulting in severe housing cost burdens3.
These financial constraints make it exceedingly challenging for residents to meet other
essential needs,such as healthcare,transportation,and education.
The journey for Coloradans to afford housing has been marked by fluctuations in recent years.
Housing payment challenges peaked at 15-20%in 2020,decreased to 4-8%by April 2021,and
further improved to 2-3%by May
2022,with occasional upticks to 5%4.
As housing costs have risen,so have
incomes,albeit not enough to bridge
the widening gap.Over the past
decade,median household income in
Colorado has increased by 49%,
trailing behind the increases in both
rent and home loan amounts5.Over
the last decade,both renters and
homeowners in Colorado have
experienced a notable increase in
the share of income allocated to
housing expenses.Figure 1,
presented below,depicts this trend
by showing the percentage of income
that would go towards housing if the
average Coloradan purchased a house

or started renting in each year using the median household income,median rent,median
home value and average mortgage rate converted to a mortgage payment.What we find is a
Coloradan household making the median income has essentially been priced out of buying
most homes and will see renting as a much more attractive option.2022 in particular saw a
massive jump in the cost to buy a new home due to large increases in home value and interest
rates.
Unfortunately,this trend is
exacerbating.Looking at Figure 2
below we see the increase in
household incomes has rarely kept
up with the rise in home values or
rental costs,with the years
impacted by COVID-19 serving as
an anomaly.Just about every year
since 2013 has seen a greater
growth in housing costs than
income,broadening the gap and
making housing increasingly more
unaffordable.
Increasing housing supply is a
common strategy to alleviate high
housing costs.While the past 6
years has seen double the amount
of housing units created than the
previous 6 years,it still falls short.The most recent two years,2021 and 2022,witnessed the
highest production of housing units in this period,signaling progress6.However,this increased
production has not kept pace with the state's growth,reflected in a 21%increase in jobs over
the past decade7 compared to a 15%increase in housing units during the same period.The
resulting imbalance,where demand outpaces supply,contributes to the ongoing rise in
housing costs.Certain areas,such as rural resort communities,face additional challenges as
outside investors and second-home buyers diminish the housing supply,particularly in regions
where availability is already limited.
The impact of high housing costs is pervasive,affecting urban and suburban areas with
heightened job growth,resort areas with multimillion-dollar home prices and constrained
rental inventory,and rural areas grappling with challenges in attracting developers.Notably,
our most vulnerable citizens—individuals with disabilities,seniors,students,low-wage
workers,and others—bear a disproportionate burden of high housing costs,facing severe
housing cost challenges and formidable financial circumstances.

Housing Programs
DOH awards generally make up roughly 13%of the total capital stack of affordable housing
development projects.
This means that every $1 of state and federal funds awarded by DOH is leveraged by about
$7.69 in other funds.Most of these leveraged funds take the form of private debt and equity
from investors such as local,regional,or national financial institutions;often in the form of
equity contributed in return for federal or state Low Income Housing Tax Credits.
Philanthropic foundations often contribute grants and loans as well,as do cities and counties
with their own local or federal funds.
DOH uses a variety of funding streams to make affordable housing programs and projects
possible.The information in the pages that follow describes the distinguishing characteristics
of these programs
Community Development Block Grant
The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)Program,born from the U.S.Congress's
Housing and Community Development Act of 1974,remains a vital force in fortifying
communities across Colorado.In its unwavering commitment to community development,the
State allocates 1/3 of its CDBG funds to housing activities,encompassing down payment
assistance,single-family owner-occupied home rehabilitation,and housing development and
preservation.The remaining 2/3 fuels economic development,public facilities,and
infrastructure initiatives.There are 23 jurisdictions in Colorado that receive their own
allocations of CDBG funds directly from HUD including the cities of:Arvada,Aurora,Boulder,
Broomfield,Castle Rock,Colorado Springs,Commerce City,Denver,Fort Collins,Grand
Junction,Greeley,Lakewood,Longmont,Loveland,Pueblo,Thornton,and Westminster;the
counties of Adams,Arapahoe,Douglas,El Paso,Jefferson,and Weld also receive their own
allocations.These localities received about $27 million,or 74%of all CDBG funds allocated in
Colorado in 2023.
Operated by the Department of Local Affairs and overseen by the Division of Local
Government (DLG),the CDBG program empowers non-entitlement municipalities and
counties.Its focus extends to critical projects like sewer systems,community centers,and
health clinics,all designed to benefit residents,particularly those with lower incomes,and
rejuvenate areas in need.Local governments,counties,and nonprofits are encouraged to
explore grant opportunities to actively contribute to the improvement of their communities.
14
HOME Investment Partnership Program
The HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME)provides formula grants to states and
localities to fund a wide range of activities including building,buying,and/or rehabilitating
affordable housing for rental or homeownership or providing direct rental assistance to
low-income people.HOME funds are awarded annually as formula grants to participating
jurisdictions (PJs).The program’s flexibility allows states and local governments to use HOME
funds for grants,direct loans,loan guarantees or other forms of credit enhancements,or
rental assistance or security deposits.
There are 10 other jurisdictions in Colorado that receive their own allocations of HOME funds
directly from HUD including the cities of:Aurora,Boulder,Colorado Springs,Denver,Fort
Collins,Greeley and Pueblo in addition to the counties of Adams,Arapahoe,and Jefferson.
These localities received about $12.4 million,or 64%of all HOME funds allocated in Colorado
in 2023.
Housing Trust Fund
The Housing Trust Fund (HTF)provides grants to states to produce and preserve affordable
housing for extremely low and very low-income households.HTF was created by the U.S.
Congress through the enactment of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008,HUD
allocates HTF funds to states by formula annually.A State must use at least 80 percent of
each annual grant for rental housing;up to 10 percent for homeownership;and up to 10
percent for the grantee’s reasonable administrative and planning costs.HTF funds may be
used for the production or preservation of affordable housing through acquisition,new
construction,reconstruction,and/or rehabilitation.All HTF-assisted units are required to
have a minimum affordability period of 30 years.
Proposition 123
In November 2022,Colorado voters passed Proposition 123,a ballot measure authorizing the
state to retain money from existing state tax revenue to support affordable housing
investment.Funds captured from the second half of the last fiscal year became available in
early July 2023 to be deployed for the current fiscal year,and are split 60/40 between the
Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT)and the Department of Local
Affairs (DOLA),respectively.OEDIT manages the Affordable Housing Financing Fund,in
partnership with Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA),which serves as Contract
Administrator.More details about their fund activities are available at
coloradoaffordablehousingfinancingfund.com.DOH manages the Affordable Housing Support
Fund.
15
Affordable Housing Support Fund
Eligible entities such as non-profits,community land trusts,private entities,and local or
tribal governments can apply for grants or loans from the $64 million in funding DOLA
received for deployment in Fiscal Year 2023-2024.To qualify,any development projects or
programs must be located in areas committed to increasing their affordable housing stock.
The fund is divided into three programmatic areas:Affordable Homeownership,Serving
Persons Experiencing Homelessness,and Local Planning Capacity Development.The first two
programs are administered by DOH and the third by the Division of Local Government.
Stay informed through the DOLA website for updates and resources,and participate in shaping
future policies related to affordable housing commitments at engagedola.org/prop-123.
Housing Development Grant
The Housing Development Grant (HDG)program,initiated by the General Assembly and
administered by the Division of Housing (DOH),continues to play a pivotal role in addressing
Colorado's housing challenges.Originally funded by a mix of General Funds,Cash Funds,and
Reappropriated Funds,recent legislative changes,such as House Bill 19-1245 and House Bill
19-1322,have strengthened the program's financial sustainability and impact.
The program,since its inception,has evolved to meet the dynamic needs of our communities.
Notably,House Bill 19-1245 increased the vendor fee,channeling additional revenue to the
HDG,while House Bill 19-1322 enacted the transfer of funds from the unclaimed property
trust fund.These changes display ongoing efforts to fortify the HDG,ensuring a robust
mechanism to address diverse housing needs.
The HDG remains a pivotal program in enhancing affordable housing by providing funds for
new construction,property acquisition,rehabilitation,foreclosure prevention,and acquiring
housing and economic data to help advise the State Housing Board.With increased funding
16
and strategic adjustments,the HDG stands as a powerful tool for positive change in Colorado's
housing landscape,contributing to the overall well-being and prosperity of our communities.
Transformational Affordable Housing
In 2022,a set of affordable housing initiatives was enacted,made possible by the one-time
funding allocated through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.From these funds disbursed
to the State of Colorado in 2021,$400 million was designated for housing-related purposes.
This led to the formation of the Transformational Affordable Housing Task Force to provide
recommendations on the optimal allocation of these funds.Many of these recommendations
received legislative approval in 2022.Implementation of these programs was well underway in
2023,and the Division has no recommendations regarding their future administration as
required by sections 24-32-729(5),24-32-731(10),and 24-32-732(6),C.R.S.,at this time until
all awards are made next year across the transformational programs:
Transformational Affordable Housing,Homeownership,and Workforce
Housing Grant
Introducing the Transformational Affordable Housing,Homeownership,and Workforce
Housing Grant Program,managed by the Division of Housing and established through
House Bills 22-1304 and 22-1377.The program aims to support eligible applicants in
developing,creating,or preserving affordable housing opportunities in their
communities.Eligible uses include housing infrastructure development,gap financing,
new homeownership projects,down payment assistance,preservation efforts,energy
improvements,and land banking.Local governments and nonprofit community
partners are eligible applicants.The program prioritizes applications fostering
inclusivity,diversity,equity,and accessibility,seeking transformative projects that will
significantly impact the affordable housing landscape within communities.
Transformational Homelessness Response
The Transformational Homelessness Response Program is also run by the Division of
Housing and was enacted through both House Bills 22-1304 and 22-1377.The program
aims to create a future where homelessness is rare and brief when it occurs,and no
one gets left behind.Achieving this is done by advancing and implementing proven
solutions and program models that reduce homelessness in a holistic and sustainable
way by targeting many of the key underlying factors necessary for people to thrive:
advance equity,improve overall well-being,connect to benefits and stable housing,
and increase employable skills and experiences that allow individuals to meet their
needs,pursue their goals,and achieve self-sufficiency.In addition to reducing
homelessness,this NOFA aims to reduce public utilization costs,revitalize public
spaces,and increase workforce opportunities.
17
Eligible applicants again include local governments and community partners like
nonprofit organizations.The program also outlines a number of eligible models and
activities including street outreach,emergency shelter,transitional housing,bridge
housing,eviction prevention,rapid re-housing,permanent supportive housing,and
even systems improvement activities like data collection.
Loan Program Resident-owned Communities
Enacted during the 2022 Regular Session,Senate Bill 22-160 introduced the Loan
Program Resident-owned Communities.Aimed at preserving mobile home
communities,this program established a revolving loan and grant system to empower
mobile home owners in organizing and purchasing their mobile home parks.Under the
jurisdiction of the Division of Housing within the Department of Local Affairs,this
visionary program prioritizes community-driven solutions.
The Division has been tasked with selecting qualified administrators through an open
and competitive process,ranging from two to three,to oversee the loan program.
These administrators will employ funds from the program to provide loans to mobile
home owners aspiring to acquire their parks.Simultaneously,the Division will institute
a grant program,directing funds to nonprofit organizations offering technical
assistance to eligible homeowners involved in community purchase endeavors.Another
grant facet supports initiatives ensuring the long-term affordability of resident-owned
parks,focusing on stabilizing lot rents and curbing rent increases.
At the core of this endeavor is the creation of the Mobile Home Park Resident
Empowerment Loan and Grant Program Fund which will be kickstarted with $35
million.This financial injection ensures the continuous appropriation of funds to the
Department for the implementation of the loan and grant program.Notably,a portion
of the allocation is earmarked for the Office of the Governor for information
technology services and the Department of Law for legal support,reinforcing the
collaborative effort to make this program a catalyst for sustainable,resident-owned
mobile home communities in Colorado.
Transformational Affordable Housing Revolving Loan Fund
The Transformational Affordable Housing Revolving Loan Fund (THLF),currently open
for applications through the Colorado Department of Local Affairs and its Division of
Housing,represents a critical initiative to address the state's housing crisis.With
funding provided by SB22-159,the THLF offers low-interest,flexible,and
below-market financing to developers and affordable housing providers.This financial
support aims to facilitate the creation or preservation of housing accessible to a broad
spectrum,ranging from extremely low income to middle income individuals and
families throughout Colorado.
The THLF,established as a revolving loan program,emphasizes a diverse range of
eligible projects.These include developing housing-related infrastructure,providing
18
gap financing for housing development,increasing the supply of new affordable
housing units,maintaining existing affordable housing through preservation and
restoration efforts,financing energy improvements,and promoting permanent or
long-term affordable homeownership opportunities.The program's priorities focus on
projects that address local community needs,provide housing in underserved areas,
align with state economic development goals,and ensure the long-term affordability
of housing developments.With a commitment to generating returns on loans for future
allocations,the THLF strives to create a sustainable and evergreen source of funding
to significantly impact Colorado's affordable housing landscape.The program
encourages eligible recipients,including local governments,for-profit developers,and
community partners to actively participate in shaping the future of affordable housing
in the state.

Reporting Methods
Included in this report are all projects and programs that were recommended,or not
recommended,funding by Division of Housing staff in 2022-23 (SFY23),spanning from July 1,
2022,to June 30,2023.Applications for funding that were submitted during this fiscal year,
but did not receive an award or denial because they were still being processed by staff,will
be published in the annual report next year.
In some cases awardees return to ask for more funding after the initial award has been
approved.As to not display these situations as a new application entirely and duplicate
reporting requirements,these have been marked as a “supplemental”.A similar complication
can occur when clients receive funds from a DOH-subsidized Community Development
Financial Institution (CDFI),but in the past have also received an award from a DOH loan fund
for the same project.Again to not duplicate reporting requirements these have also been
marked as “supplemental”.
These supplemental cases include data on the additional amount of funding awarded,but not
the housing units because these were already reported in previous years.Applicants that were
awarded funds for an original application and a supplemental funding request have their total
funding amount reported if both occurred in the same fiscal year.

Financial Summary
This page contains financial information on the funding used by DOH to support the
production and preservation of affordable and emergency housing.Data is only provided on
awards,allocations,and appropriations for the most recent fiscal year,and only includes
transactions concerning the programs described in the previous pages.Funds allocated,
appropriated,or transferred to DOH are not necessarily awarded to grantees and borrowers in
the same year that the funds are made available to DOH.
DOH housing development and preservation revenues and expenditures,State Fiscal Year
2022-23:
$417,277,732 appropriated,allocated,or transferred to DOH
$336,456,854 awarded by DOH to grantees &borrowers
$4,302,525 expended for administrative costs
This is because many funding sources are made continuously available to DOH,which allows
projects and programs to be paired with the funds most suitable for each application in
question,regardless of the year that funds were originally made available to DOH.
Because DOH has historically accepted applications on a monthly basis (as opposed to
semi-annually)and,generally,applications are only submitted following in-depth technical
assistance.This has the effect of maximizing the impact of funds on individual projects and
broader communities.
An administrative staff of 25 full-time equivalents (FTE)are responsible for this housing
development and preservation work,12 term limited FTE specifically to support time limited
transformational programs,and 12 vacant positions.
