Public Housing

BHP owns and manages rental properties located throughout the City of Boulder.  Residents pay approximately 30% percent of their monthly adjusted income for rent. There is no minimum income. The maximum yearly income to qualify depends on family size. See eligibility below. Wait time can vary from 1 to 4 years from the date and time the application is received, depending on required unit size and program interest.

Highest priority is given to people currently working or living in the  City of Boulder, that are considered senior (62 years +), disabled or a family. Anyone is welcome to apply; however you must be eligible and meet the income guidelines established annually by HUD.

An applicant who is single, non-senior or non-disabled may apply for housing, but will have to wait until those individuals who meet any of the above described criteria are housed first. For this reason the wait time may be indefinite for these individuals.

Type of Housing Available:  studio-4 bedroom apartments and town homes.
Rent is based on 30% of family's adjusted income, if all household members qualify.

Eligibility: Applicants yearly maximum gross income can be up to 80% Area Median Income (AMI).

Individual:    under $45,100
Family of 2: under $51,550
Family of 3: under $58,000
Family of 4: under $64,400

Please note: you may not qualify for the federally subsidized programs if you fall into one of these categories:

• Your household does not currently live or work within the city limits of Boulder (for example, Longmont and Lafayette are in Boulder County so you would not qualify for housing with us).
• Your household has been evicted from federally subsidized housing within the past five (5) years. You or a member of your household has been arrested or convicted of a crime within the past five (5) years that involves drugs, violence, or disrupting the peaceful enjoyment of others.
