HOUSING AUTHORITY 

The El Paso County Housing Authority was established by the Board of County Commissioners in 1993 to help promote the availability of decent, safe and sanitary dwelling accommodations in the county for persons of low to moderate income.  The authority advises the Board of County Commissioners on matters regarding the issuance of bonds for the acquisition, construction, and rehabilitation of single- and multi-family residential housing to provide more affordable housing opportunities for residents.  In addition, the authority manages the Housing Trust Fund, which provides funding to community-based organizations for innovative housing-related programs, and contracts with the county to administer a rehabilitation program for single-family dwellings.

The Housing Authority consists of six members appointed by the Board of County Commissioners for five-year terms.  Terms are unlimited per the bylaws.  (Job Desc.)

Housing Authority meetings are held on the second Tuesday of the month at noon in the County Office Building, 27 E. Vermijo Avenue, 5th Floor, Colorado Springs, Colorado.  Special meetings may be scheduled as necessary.
