About Section 8 Communities

Section 8 Communities are located throughout the City of Boulder and offer studio 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.  Many communities are centrally located in Boulder and feature renovated apartment homes, community centers and easy access to RTD bus lines and shopping centers.

After qualifying, residents living in these communities pay approximately 30-40% of income towards rent, and the remainder is subsidized through federal funding.
