Mrs. Cathy Mathis, Chairperson of the Board of Commissioners
Members of the Board of Commissioners of the Fort Collins Housing Authority:
We are pleased to present the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the Fort Collins
Housing Authority for the year ended December 31, 2014. This report is prepared in conformance
with standards of financial reporting as established by the Governmental Accounting Standards
Board and the Government Finance Officers Association. The United States Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD) requires that all public housing authorities publish within nine
months after the fiscal year-end, financial statements presented in conformity with United States
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), FCHA's financial statements presented here
have been audited by Eide Bailly, LLP. The auditors issued an unmodified opinion on FCHA's
financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The data presented in this
report is the responsibility of the management of FCHA. To the best of our knowledge and belief,
the data as presented is accurate in all material aspects; is presented in a manner designed to fairly
state the financial position and results of operations of FCHA; and all disclosures necessary have
been included to enable the reader to gain an understanding of FCHA's financial affairs. GAAP
requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview and analysis to complement
the basic financial statements in the form of Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A).
FCHA's MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors. This
transmittal letter is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it.
FCHA is required to undergo an annual single audit in conformity with the provisions of the Single
Audit Act Amendments of 1996 and United States Office of Management and Budget Circular A-
133, Audits of States, Local Governments and Non-profit Organizations. Information related to this
single audit, including the independent auditors' 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; the independent auditors' report on compliance
with requirements applicable to each major program and on internal control over compliance in
accordance with OMB Circular A-133; the Schedule of Federal Awards; Schedule of Findings and
Questioned Costs; and the status of prior year findings are included in the single audit section of
this report.

2014 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
Government Overview
y Maintaining the fiscal viability of the organization.
y Achieving a social goal through the provision of affordable housing and supportive services.
y Achieving environmental sustainability.
FCHA was created in 1971 to provide safe, decent and sanitary housing for low-income families of
Fort Collins in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by HUD and other federal
agencies. This report includes all programs of FCHA as well as all of its component units.
Component units are legally separate entities for which a government is financially accountable.
FCHA was established as a quasi-municipal corporation by the City of Fort Collins (the City).
Although FCHA maintains close ties with the City in several respects, FCHA is not a component unit
of the City as defined by the pronouncements of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
The governing body for FCHA is its Board of Commissioners (Board) comprised of five members
appointed by the City Council. The Board appoints an Executive Director to administer the affairs of
FCHA. The primary source of funding for FCHA is HUD and resident rents. The City is not
financially accountable for the operations of FCHA, has no responsibility to fund deficits or receive
surpluses and has not guaranteed FCHA's debt.
FCHA'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, also known as Section 8. In addition to
these federal programs, FCHA 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 FCHA the flexibility to develop several
private/public partnerships providing a variety of housing opportunities for Fort Collins residents.
FCHA 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. FCHA 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 FCHA functions are operated with attention paid to a triple bottom line:
FCHA currently owns and operates 154 Public Housing units in addition to administering over 1,100
Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers for Fort Collins and Larimer County. The Larimer County
allocation of 100 of these vouchers is administered through an intergovernmental agreement, 65 of
which are targeted specifically to people with disabilities. FCHA administered over $8 million in
Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) to local landlords on behalf of participating families in 2014.
This amount includes funding for 115 Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing program vouchers. HUD
grades this program through its Section 8 Management Assessment Program (SEMAP). FCHA
received an “A” rating for 2014 and has utilized 100% of its authorized authority.

2014 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
Economic Condition and Outlook
Long-Term Planning and Major Commitments and Initiatives
Congressional housing legislation and the federal budget affect FCHA more than local economic
factors. FCHA's primary source of funding is HUD. As with most housing authorities, most of
FCHA's operating and capital funding comes from federal dollars in the form of operating subsidies,
capital fund grants and Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments. During the year ended December
31, 2014, HUD and other federal agencies provided approximately 62% of FCHA's total revenues.
For the Section 8 program, HUD provides housing authorities with a fixed annual budget for
Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) and for administration fees.
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 2014, FCHA, like all housing
authorities nationwide, was funded at 88.8% of eligibility.
Funding for the Section 8 program was prorated at 99.7% and 79.8% of eligibility for Housing
Assistance Payments and administration fees, respectively.
The FCHA supports the development and preservation of affordable housing throughout the City of
Fort Collins. With funding from the City, State Division of Housing, Colorado Housing and Finance
Authority, equity investors, and lenders, the Authority and its partners combine high quality design
with sustainable development principles and sound planning to develop and maintain a vibrant and
diverse affordable housing portfolio. The Authority employs many strategies to create and preserve
its stock of affordable housing for residents. These include new construction, acquisition,
rehabilitation and preservation of existing housing to create and maintain high-quality sustainable
units.
Fort Collins has a population of 155,400 (2014). The average annual population growth rate is 2.04
percent (2014). Median household income is $53,359 and median family income is $76,341
(American Community Survey, 2008-2012). The rental market has tightened considerably in the
past years and rents continue to increase with recent vacancy rates as low as 1%.
iii
Between 2011 and 2013 the Authority 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 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 the FCHA 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
are projected to result in the development, or renovation, of 665 units of affordable housing within
the City of Fort Collins.

FCHA began to accumulate the assignment of significant Private Activity Bond (PAB) authority in
2013 to be used for the VOCC rehabilitation and other significant 4% LIHTC funded projects. The
FCHA has partnered with the City of Fort Collins, Larimer County and Weld County to secure PAB
assignments. Through 2014 the FCHA had secured the following assignments:
One of the larger projects that will be renovated utilizing proceeds from the disposition of a portion
of the public housing units will be 284 units acquired by the FCHA in 2012 as part of the Village on
Cunningham Corners (VOCC) purchase. The VOCC purchase consisted of a total of 345 units of
privately owned affordable housing located in Fort Collins (285 units) and Loveland (60 units)
Colorado. The 60 unit property located in Loveland, Colorado, known as the Madison Avenue
Apartments, was sold in 2014. After the payment of outstanding debt and selling costs, the sale of
the Madison Avenue Apartments resulted in a net cash increase of $809,423. All properties in
VOCC were formerly developed or updated using Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC). All
properties have completed their initial 15-year compliance periods but still have Land Use
Regulatory Agreements (LURA) in place to ensure affordability for extended periods.
The entire VOCC portfolio was purchased with a combination of $1.072 million in Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds through the City of Fort Collins, a $2.5 million short-term
loan from a local Community Development Finance Institution (CDFI) and a $21.35 million short-
term loan from a local financial institution. A $2.6 million portion of the short-term debt used to
purchase the VOCC properties was refinanced during 2013. The new loan was obtained through
the Colorado Housing Investment Fund (CHIF) administered by the State of Colorado. Proceeds
were used to pay-off the CDFI loan from with the remainder used to reduce the other debt on the
properties. This transaction reduced the interest rate on this portion of the debt from 6.25% to 1.0%
which translated into a savings of over $11,000 per month. All current debt on the VOCC project is
set to mature in early 2016.
FCHA plans to begin the renovation of the 284 Fort Collins VOCC units prior to the maturity of this
acquisition debt utilizing a portion of the public housing disposition proceeds combined with a 4%
LIHTC transaction. Planning for the substantial rehabilitation of the Fort Collins VOCC properties is
underway. At the end of 2014 $937,200 in CDBG, HOME Investment Partnerships Program
(HOME) and City of Fort Collins Affordable Housing Fund (AHF) grant funding has been secured for
the planned renovations.
Letter of Transmittal
2014 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
In 2014 the FCHA started the substantial rehabilitation of a 95 unit property known as the Village on
Plum (VOP) utilizing $8.75 million of the PAB authority it had previously been assigned. The VOP
was previously owned by a non-profit and was placed in a Limited Liability Limited Partnership
(LLLP) as part of a 4% LIHTC financing package in 2014. FCHA is the General Partner in the LLLP.
The total project cost, including the refinance of the existing mortgage, is $13.97 million.
The other projects that are currently projected to use a portion of the proceeds from the public
housing disposition and PAB authority are the 284 Fort Collins VOCC units and a new-build project
that will consist of 72 units of affordable housing known as the Village on Redwood (Redwood)
project. The VOCC project is currently projected to need $25 million in PAB authority. The Redwood
project is currently projected to require $10 million in PAB authority.
The Redwood project will include 72 new units of affordable housing with 36 townhouse-style units
and 36 flats-style units separated into 12 individual buildings surrounding a large community green.
The mix of unit types includes 1, 2, 3 and 4-bedroom units. Total cost is estimated at $18.34 million.
At the end of 2014, $720,000 in CDBG and HOME grant funding had been secured for Redwood. In
addition, funds from the FCHA public housing disposition, PAB authority, CDBG-Disaster Recovery
(CDBG-DR) funds and State of Colorado low-income housing tax credits (State Tax Credits) will
also be utilized to finance the Redwood project. The CDBG-DR funds are available to projects in
Larimer County because of a natural disaster from flooding that occurred in the area in late 2013. In
2014, the State of Colorado approved a $5 million annual amount of State Tax Credits to be issued
on a competitive basis in 2015 and 2016.
v
In May 2013, the Redtail Ponds Permanent Supportive Housing project (Redtail) received a
reservation of $768,383 in 9% LIHTC’s. Construction of this $12.48 million 60 unit property began in
March 2014 with completion and occupancy planned for the first quarter of 2015. This development
will address the special housing needs of homeless individuals with disabilities, homeless veterans
and other low-income individuals.
Financing partners for Redtail were selected for debt and equity financing through a competitive
RFP process in 2013. FCHA was pleased to select and partner with US Bancorp Community
Development Corporation, US Bank National Association and the Colorado Housing and Finance
Authority on the tax credit equity, construction and permanent financing. An award of $800,000 was
secured in 2013 from the Colorado Division of Local Affairs for the project. In addition, a total of
$1,391,077 in CDBG, HOME and AHF grant funding was awarded for this project between 2011
and 2014. The development represents the FCHA’s first permanent supportive housing
development.
FCHA projects that an additional $8,909,472 in PAB authority will be needed for projects started
2014 or currently in the planning stage for future years. This will bring the total of assigned PAB
authority to a total of $43,750,000.

Other Information - Awards
FCHA management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure
designed to ensure that FCHA'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. FCHA 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, FCHA 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.
As part of FCHA'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 FCHA has
compiled with applicable laws, regulations, contracts and grants. FCHA's single audit for the year
ended December 31, 2014 found no instances of material weakness in the internal control or
significant violations of the applicable laws, regulations, contracts and grants, audit reports
regarding this are included in this CAFR in the Single Audit Section.
vi
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to FCHA for its Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Certificate of Achievement is
a prestigious national award recognizing conformance with the highest standards for preparation of
statement and local government financial reports.
In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a governmental unit must publish an easily
readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report whose contents conform
to program standards. Such CAFR must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and
applicable legal requirements. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year. We
believe our current report continues to conform to the Certificate of Achievement program
requirements, and we are submitting it to GFOA.
A partnership between the FCHA and a private developer was finalized in 2012 for the construction
of a 72-unit affordable development for seniors near downtown Fort Collins, known as the Legacy
Seniors project. Construction was completed in December 2013 and final payments for the
federally funded portions of the project, which passed through the FCHA, were made in early 2014.

Fort Collins, Colorado
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the business-type activities and the
discretely presented component units of Fort Collins Housing Authority (the Authority) as of and
for the year ended December 31, 2014, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the Authority’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial
statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America; this includes 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.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits 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. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s
judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the
financial statements 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
entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinions.
2
Opinions
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 discretely presented
component units of Fort Collins Housing Authority as of December 31, 2014, and the respective
changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Report on Summarized Comparative Information
We have previously audited the Fort Collins Housing Authority’s 2013 financial statements, and
we expressed an unmodified opinion on those audited financial statements in our report dated
July 2, 2014. In our opinion, the summarized comparative information presented herein as of
and for the year ended December 31, 2013 is consistent, in all material respects, with the
audited financial statements from which it has been derived.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
management’s discussion and analysis on pages 4 through 10 be presented to supplement the
basic financial statements. Such information, 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.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the Authority’s financial statements. The introductory section, combining
financial schedules on pages 44-47, and statistical sections are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements. The accompanying
schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as
required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, “Audits of States, Local
Governments and Non-Profit Organizations is not a required part of the financial statements.
The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an
opinion or provide any assurance on them.
3
The combining financial schedules on pages 44-47 and the schedule of expenditures of federal
awards are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the
underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the financial
statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such
information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial
statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our
opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial
statements as a whole.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated April
29, 2015, on our consideration of Fort Collins Housing Authority’s internal control over financial
reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts, grant agreements, and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the
scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of
that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on
compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with
Government Auditing Standards in considering the Authority’s internal control over financial
reporting and compliance.

Financial Highlights
Overview of the Financial Statements
• Reports on Compliance
• Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
• Departmental Financial Statements
• Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs
The Fort Collins Housing Authority (the Authority) offers readers of the Authority’s financial
statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the Authority for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. We encourage readers to consider the information presented
here in conjunction with the Authority’s financial statements, which begin on page 11.
• The assets of the Authority exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year by
$12,374,620 (net position), an increase of $428,104 from the prior year balance. The most
significant contributing factor to the current year increase was the increase in HUD funding of
the Public Housing and Section 8 Voucher programs, which experienced increases in funding of
$140,001 and $703,046, respectively, as compared to the prior year.
• As of the close of the current fiscal year, the Authority’s funds had an unrestricted net position
of $8,388,192 and $165,676 in restricted net position, which represents HUD voucher funding.
• The Authority’s unrestricted cash balance at December 31, 2014 was $3,293,355, representing
an increase of $1,105,271 (51%) from December 31, 2013. The largest increase in unrestricted
cash was in Housing Development due to the sale of Madison Avenue Apartments in December
2014.
• As noted above, the Authority sold the Madison Avenue Apartments, located in Loveland,
Colorado, in December 2014. The sale resulted in a gain of $495,254 and net cash flow of
$809,423.
• The Authority received HUD operating funding of $9,790,666, internal service fees
(management fees and overhead cost allocations) of $1,059,745 and rents of $3,700,398 for the
year. The Authority paid out $8,319,806 in housing assistance payments and $5,724,391 in other
operating expenses (excluding depreciation of $1,064,166).
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Authority’s basic financial
statements. The Authority’s basic financial statements are comprised of: 1) fund financial
statements and 2) notes to the financial statements. As required by HUD, this report also includes
supplemental information such as:
• Other income increased by $436,164 (194%) as compared to the prior year. The increase was
due to initial developer fee income of $464,455 related to the development of two new projects,
Redtail Ponds Permanent Supportive Housing and Village on Plum, both located in Fort Collins,
Colorado.

Financial Statements
Departmental Financial Statements
Supplemental Information
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have
been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Authority, like other state and local
governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related
legal requirements. The Authority has only one fund type, namely enterprise funds.
The supplemental information is presented for purposes of additional analysis as required by U.S.
Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-
Profit Organizations. The schedule of expenditures of federal awards can be found on page 64 of
this report.
The financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the Authority's
finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the Authority's assets and liabilities, with
the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net
position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the Authority is improving
or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the Authority's net position changed
during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying
event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus,
revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash
flows in past or future periods (e.g. depreciation and earned personal leave).
The statement of cash flows presents information showing the Authority's inflows and outflows of
cash and cash equivalents during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in cash and cash
equivalents are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs,

A large portion of the Authority’s net position (31%) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g.
buildings, machinery, and equipment). The Authority uses these capital assets to provide housing
and services to low-income tenants: consequently, these assets are not available for future
spending. The unrestricted net position ($8,388,192) of the Authority are available for future use to
provide program services.
Fort Collins Housing Authority
Authority-Wide Net Position as of December 31,

4. Vouchers: The Authority managed 894 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV), 115 Veterans
Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) vouchers and 50 Family Unification Program (FUP)
vouchers at year-end 2014.
The revenue source for the HCV, VASH and FUP vouchers is HUD in the amount of
$8,098,691, which is an increase of $703,046 (9.5%) as compared to the prior year total of
$7,395,645. The current year HUD funding for housing assistance payments ("HAP") of
$7,355,182 increased by $656,392 as compared to the prior year amount received of
$6,698,790. The balance of funding received from HUD increased due to the second year of
cash management policies implemented by HUD as well as an increase in overall funding due
to the expiration of the 2013 budget sequestration. The current year HAP expenses of
$7,396,186 remained consistent with the prior year expenses of $7,383,063.
As noted above, the Authority sold the complex in Loveland during 2014, resulting in a gain of
$495,254.The Authority intends to hold the remaining three apartment complexes in Fort
Collins for an additional period of 1-2 years once tax credit project funding can be obtained for
rehabilitation. Once the tax credit project funding is obtained, it is expected that the
complexes will be sold to tax credit partnership entities.
As noted earlier, the Authority uses departmental accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance
with finance-related legal requirements. Each of the departments has a specific objective and
purpose to accomplish. The focus of the Authority’s funds is to provide information on near-term
inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. During 2014, the Authority maintained
seven departmental funds as described below:
Public Housing: Owns and operates 154 units of housing for rent to low-income families.
The program ended 2014 with a net position of $6,318,434 of which $5,822,414 (92%) is
invested in capital assets; and, $496,020 is available as operating reserves. The main
sources of revenue are rents charged to tenants, HUD annual operating subsidy, and capital
grants.
Management: Provides administrative support for all departments and has outside
management contracts for Villages, Ltd. (231 units), Wellington Housing Authority (42 units),
Village on Elizabeth (48 units), Village on Stanford (82 units), the Northern Hotel (47 units),
Village on Cunningham Corner (285 units) and Village on Plum (95 units). The net position is
$1,056,676, of which $135,079 (13%) is invested in capital assets. The sources of revenues
are cost allocations, administrative fees charged and maintenance fees charged.
Housing Development: Provides for the development of rental housing and homeownership
opportunities. This department presently has a net position in the amount of $4,578,670.
Revenues for 2014 included tenant rental income, CDBG and HOME grants for Redtail Ponds
Permanent Supportive Housing, accrued interest income on loans to both tax credit funded
properties, fees for managing construction projects and developer fees.

Capital Assets and Debt Administration
Capital Assets
Capital asset activity during the current fiscal year is as follows:
Long-Term Debt
As of December 31, 2014, the Authority had six long-term loans totaling $23,242,982. The long-term
loans are to fund remodeling costs for the Taft Hill Road office of the Villages, Ltd, to fund the
remodeling costs for the Authority's main offices on Mountain Avenue, to acquire land for future
development and for the purchase of four apartment complexes and a leasing office.
• Various renovation projects for the Villages on Cunningham Corner apartment complexes in the
amount of $229,738. Renovation projects included replacing decks, adding insulation and
replacing boiler systems.
• Purchase of scanners and monitors for all FCHA offices in the amount of $32,891.
State and Local (Colorado Division of Housing and the City of Fort Collins): Funds
provided through the City of Fort Collins for the TBRA CDDT program fund 12 vouchers for
clients in this program. This grant period was completed during 2014; however, the grant has
been extended with the City of Fort Collins for 2015 to the extent that funding is available.
Larimer County Housing Authority: Provides 100 rental vouchers for low-income clients.
The revenue source is HUD cost reimbursement for the vouchers. The Larimer County
Housing Authority is reported as a blended component unit of the Fort Collins Housing
Authority.
As of December 31, 2014, the Authority's net investment in capital assets was $3,820,752 (net of
accumulated depreciation and capital loans). This investment in capital assets includes land,
buildings, improvements, equipment, and computer software.
Additional information on the Authority's capital assets can be found in Note 1 on page 27 and Note
5 on page 32 of this report.
• Renovations to a public housing unit in the amount of $52,774. Renovations included new
windows and a new air conditioning system.
• Funding of pre-development costs related to the development of Village on Redwood. These
costs will be sold to Village on Redwood, LLLP once financing for the project is obtained.
HUD Grant (ROSS): Provides for the expenses of a public housing self-sufficiency
coordinator. This is a cost reimbursement grant with a current year annual award amount of
$72,550.

Loan activity during the current fiscal year is as follows:
• Principal payments made to First Bank on the Taft Hill Road note in the amount of $19,545.
Economic Outlook
Contact Information
• Principal payments made to First Bank on the Mountain Office remodel note in the amount of
$44,298.
• Principal payments made to the Seton Enablement Fund on the Redwood Land note in the
amount of $9,243.
• Principal payments made to First Bank on the VOCC note in the amount of $2,047,157. The
payment was related to the sale of Madison Avenue Apartments.
Mr. Duane Hopkins, Chief Financial Officer, may be contacted with questions concerning this report.
He can be reached at (970) 416-2993, or by mail at 1715 West Mountain Ave., Fort Collins, CO
80521. His e-mail address is dhopkins@fcgov.com.
• Principal payments made to the Colorado Department of Housing on the CHIF loan in the
amount of $706,513. The payments included regular monthly installments of $95,226 and a lump
sum payment of $611,287 related to the sale of Madison Avenue Apartments.
The Authority remains focused on development of new affordable housing units through both
acquisition and new build strategies.
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. The market has recently had
vacancy rates as low as 1%. Vacancy rates are expected to stay within the 2-4% range for the
foreseeable future. HCV 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
HCV HUD funding available, combined with rising rental rates, resulted in a 100% utilization of
housing assistance payment (HAP) funding and an 89% HCV leased utilization in 2014. Given the
lack of reserves held by the Authority, the level of funding received by HUD is expected to continue
to negatively affect the total number of families served through the HCV programs.
Additional information on the Authority's debt can be found in Note 6 on pages 34 through 39 of this
report.

Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies
General
The Authority 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)
• The Authority holds the corporate powers of the organization
• The Authority appoints a voting majority of the organization’s board
• The Authority is able to impose its will on the organization
• The organization has the potential to impose a financial benefit/burden on the Authority
• There is fiscal dependency by the organization on the Authority
Blended Component Units
The Fort Collins Housing Authority 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. The Authority owns and
operates 154 units of family housing and administers 894 Section 8 housing choice vouchers, 115
Section 8 VASH vouchers and 50 Family Unification Program vouchers. The Authority also owns and
operates 285 apartment units in Fort Collins. The Authority also owned and operated an additional 59
apartment units located in Loveland; those units were sold in December.
The Authority’s financial statements include the accounts of all Authority operations. The criteria for
including organizations as component units within the Authority 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 the Authority 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, the Authority 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 the Authority, 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 the Authority. Accordingly, the balances and
transactions of this component unit are reported within the proprietary funds of the Authority.
25
Fort Collins Housing Authority
Notes to Financial Statements

The following significant factors were considered in making this determination:
• The members of the Authority’s Board also act as the governing body of LCHA
• LCHA's operations are fully the responsibility of the management of the Authority

Fund Accounting
Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus
The financial statements of the discretely presented component units are presented in the Authority’s
basic financial statements. Complete financial statements of the individual component units can be
obtained from the Chief Financial Officer, Fort Collins Housing Authority, 1715 W. Mountain Ave.,
Fort Collins, CO 80521.
The accounts of the Authority are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a
separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self-
balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, net position, revenues, and expenses. The
Authority classifies its funds as proprietary.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC)
assesses the financial condition of Public Housing Authorities (PHA’s). To uniformly and consistently
assess the PHA’s REAC requires that PHA’s financial statements conform to Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP).
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement
focus. All proprietary funds are accounted for using the economic resources measurement focus.
With this measurement focus, all assets and liabilities associated with the operation of these funds
are included on the statement of net position. Net position is segregated into invested in capital
assets, restricted and unrestricted components. The statements of revenues, expenses and changes
in fund net position present increases (e.g., revenues) and decreases (e.g., expenses) in total net
position. When both restricted and unrestricted net position is available for use, generally it is the
Authority’s policy to use restricted net position first, then unrestricted net position as needed. The
statements of cash flows present the cash flows for operating activities, investing activities, capital
and related financing activities and non-capital financing activities.
Village on Plum, LLLP (VOP) – the general partner of this partnership, Village on Plum, LLC, is
wholly owned by the Fort Collins Housing Authority. Village on Plum, LLC has an ownership
percentage of 0.01%. As the general partner, the Authority has the day to day management
responsibilities of the partnership.
Redtail Ponds Permanent Supportive Housing, LLLP (Redtail Ponds PSH) – the general partner of
this partnership, Redtail Ponds Permanent Supportive Housing, LLC, is wholly owned by the Fort
Collins Housing Authority. Redtail Ponds Permanent Supportive Housing, LLC has an ownership
percentage of 0.01%. As the general partner, the Authority has the day to day management
responsibilities of the partnership.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Inventory
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in/first-out method.
Capital Assets
Buildings and Improvements 15 - 30 Years
Furniture and Equipment 3 - 15 Years
Investment in Tax Credit Partnerships and Future Developments
Operating Revenues and Expenses
The Authority'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, the Authority 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. The Authority uses the
certificate of deposits as part of the entities cash management.
Land, buildings and improvements, and equipment are recorded at cost, including indirect
development costs. The Authority uses a capitalization threshold of $5,000. Donated fixed assets are
valued at their estimated fair 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.
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) the Authority’s equity in net earnings (losses) since acquisition, less any
distributions received.
The Authority 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.
Investments in future developments represents costs incurred by the Authority for future
developments and are recorded at cost until a project is established.

Fraud Recovery
Restricted and Unrestricted Resources
Accumulated Unpaid Vacation Leave
Unearned Revenues
Components of Net Position
Components of net position include the following:
Business and Credit Risk
HUD requires the Authority 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.
The Authority provides housing on account to clients which are located primarily in Fort Collins,
Colorado.
• 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.
The Authority applies restricted resources first when an expense is incurred for purposes for which
both restricted and unrestricted net position is available.
Accumulated unpaid vacation leave is accrued in the period incurred. Employees are permitted to
accumulate a limited amount of vacation benefits. Upon separation or termination from the Authority,
an employee will not be paid time in excess of 240 hours.
As of December 31, 2014, unearned revenue consisted of $16,141 of prepaid rent from tenants.
• Net Investment in Capital Assets – Consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation
and reduced by outstanding balances of debt issued to finance the acquisition, improvement, or
construction of those assets.
• 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.

Deposits
Custodial Credit Risk
The Authority’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.
The Colorado Public Deposit Protection Act (PDPA) requires that all units of local government
deposit cash in eligible public depositories. Eligibility is determined by state regulations. Amounts on
deposit in excess of federal insurance levels must be collateralized by eligible collateral as
determined by the PDPA. The institution is allowed to create a single collateral pool for all public
funds held. The pool is to be maintained by another institution or held in trust for all the uninsured
public deposits as a group. The market value of the collateral must be at equal to 102% of the
uninsured deposits. The general depository agreement required by annual contract with HUD has
additional collateral requirements, which the Authority met in 2014.
The financial statements and related footnotes include certain prior year summarized comparative
information in total. Such information does not include sufficient detail to constitute a presentation in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, such information should be
read in conjunction with the Authority's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013,
from which the summarized information was derived.
Custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of a bank failure, the Authority’s deposits may not be
returned to it. As of December 31, 2014, the Authority's deposits were not exposed to custodial credit
risk, as all deposits were insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Commission (FDIC) and
collateralized in accordance with PDPA.

balance was $3,787,129. Of the bank balances, $250,000 was covered by Federal Depository
Insurance. Of the remaining balances for 2014, $3,537,129 was collateralized with securities held by
a pledging financial institution’s agent in the government’s name.
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates of certificates of deposit will adversely affect
the fair value of investments. All certificates of deposit held by the Authority as of December 31,
2014, mature within 1 year.
The Authority’s investment policy allows for investments to be solely in securities approved by the
HUD. Authorized investment instruments are as follows:
The Authority’s deposit and investment policy specifies that all investments are to be adequately
collateralized if deposits and investments exceed federal insurance limits. The policy does not
formally address credit risk, interest rate risk, or foreign currency risk associated with investments.
Custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of a bank failure, VOE’s deposits may not be
returned to it. As of December 31, 2014, VOE's deposits were not exposed to custodial credit risk, as

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
The Board of Commissioners
Fort Collins Housing Authority
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 discretely presented component units, of Fort Collins
Housing Authority (Authority) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, and the related
notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the Authority’s basic financial
statements, and have issued our report thereon dated April 29, 2015.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the Authority's
internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the 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 the
Authority’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Authority’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.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose
described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies
in internal control over financial reporting 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
may exist that have not yet been identified.
65
Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the Authority'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 determination of financial statement amounts.
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 Each Major Federal Program; Report on
Internal Control Over Compliance Required by OMB Circular A-133
The Board of Commissioners
Fort Collins Housing Authority
Fort Collins, Colorado
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
We have audited Fort Collins Housing Authority’s compliance with the types of compliance
requirements described in the OMB Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that could have a
direct and material effect on each of the Authority’s major federal programs for the year ended
December 31, 2014. The Authority’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of
auditor’s results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
Management’s Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts
and grants applicable to its federal programs.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the compliance for each of the Authority’s major
federal programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above.
We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained
in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States;
and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations.
Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred
to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Authority’s compliance with those
requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each
major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the
Authority’s compliance.
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
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 of each of its major Federal
programs for the year ended December 31, 2014.
67
Report on Internal Control over Compliance
Management of the Authority is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal
control over compliance with the compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and
performing our audit of compliance, we considered the Authority’s internal control over
compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each
major federal program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal
program and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB
Circular A-133, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal
control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Authority’s 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 combination of deficiencies, in internal control over
compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a
compliance requirement 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 first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal
control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses.
However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
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 OMB Circular A-133. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other
purpose.
