About Public Housing

Our two Public Housing communities are located in the City of Boulder and offer one to four-bedroom apartments and townhomes for income-qualified and eligible community members.

Boulder Housing Partners (BHP) manages each of these communities and offers additional supportive Resident Services to BHP residents. After qualifying, residents living in these communities pay approximately 30-40% of income towards rent, and the remainder is subsidized through federal funding.
