If you need affordable housing, this is an excellent opportunity, however, be aware that there are thousands of people who need this, while only a few vouchers are available.
“The Jefferson County Housing Authority will be handing out random choice lottery tickets in order to be considered for possible placement on Jefferson County Housing Authority’s (JCHA’s) Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program.
Lottery tickets will be available on two days only:

Any ticket postmarked after that date will not be accepted. Any ticket that is not mailed will not be accepted. Any ticket with incomplete information will not be accepted.
All of the accepted tickets will be held in a pool and drawings will be conducted for the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program by the Jefferson County Housing Authority through December 31, 2011.

***** 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.)
Englewood Housing Authority is opening their Section 8 waiting list – May 26 and May 27, 2010:

This application process is a little different than other processes in that it doesn’t look like you will be able to mail in the application. You will need to fill it out and return it by May 27.

Arvada Section 8 List Opens April 21 and 22, 2010:
PLEASE UPDATE
Dear Dawn,
We will update as soon as we hear about more opportunities for Section 8. The reality is, however, that Housing Authorities typically only open their waiting list for a few days each year – AND – the demand far exceeds the amount of housing available. Calling the process a LOTTERY – is very appropriate.
For example, I recently spoke with someone who works at Brighton’s Housing Authority. He told me that when they opened their waiting list – for a few days in the spring – 10% of Brighton’s population applied to be on the Section 8 list – and so far, they have only been able to help 20 families because no one leaves once they get a Section 8 voucher.
The real issue is that there is not enough affordable housing available for the people who need it.
