Public Housing Program

In our 450+ public housing units, low-income elderly, family, and disabled households pay 30% of their income for rent and utilities. BHP is the landlord, and the costs of operating the property that exceed rental income are subsidized by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. Most of these units are owned, managed, and maintained by BHP.
Boulder Housing Partners gives preference to those applicants who live and/or work within the city limits of Boulder and are elderly individuals, individuals with disabilities or families with children. If an applicant does not have the preference, their chance of clearing the wait list is very limited.
