***** Previous Opportunities****
(Note: Below are previous opportunities to apply for Section 8 vouchers. Typically the window of opportunity to apply for a section 8 voucher is very small. Also, after a year, most section 8 waiting lists are dumped and names are collected all over again. So, if you have applied in previous years, you will likely have to apply every year.)

As of July 1, 2008, the Denver Housing Authority is accepting interest cards for their public housing family units. To apply you will need to pick up an interest card in the Occupancy Department of the Denver Housing Authority located at 777 Grant St. on the first floor, fill it out and then mail it back. Be sure to bring a picture ID.
After you mail it in, you will be added to the public housing waiting list which can vary in length from 6 months to one year. If you are called, you are offered a place in one of their housing developments and rent will be set at 30% of your income.
While this waiting time may seem long, if you are searching for subsidized, stable housing, the important thing is to get on the waiting list. Here are links for more information:
3460 S. Sherman St.
Englewood, CO 80113

Tuesday, January 22, 2008 8:00 am to 4:00pm
Wednesday, January 23,2008 8:00 am to 4:00 pm
This is a great opportunity if you are looking for subsidized housing! This list only opens once or twice a year.
Combined waiting list interest cards must be picked up at the City of Lakewood, Civic Center South, 480 South Allison Parkway, Lakewood, Colorado in the main lobby area on January 22 and January 23, 2008.
