Local Housing Opportunities

State Resources

At the Special Session of the Colorado State Legislature in December, State lawmakers approved $54 million for rent and mortgage relief.

Rent and mortgage assistance is available to low-income families facing economic disruption. Renters and homeowners can apply for assistance from the Emergency Housing Assistance Program (EHAP) through two statewide partner agencies, Brothers Redevelopment and the Salvation Army.  For more information about agencies providing assistance to local areas, an online map is provided here.

To qualify for assistance, households must have earned below 50% of the Area Median Income for their county prior to March 11, 2020.  Further income guidelines can be found here.

For Coloradans who are at risk of losing their housing, Colorado Housing Connects is an additional resource. Renters, homeowners, and landlords can find more information here.

The Promise Program Post Secondary Education Scholarship encourages high school graduates and GED recipients of Central City to make post-secondary education a priority. View the guidelines and application here.
