Well over $20 million in tax credits has now been awarded for the construction of a series of housing projects in Denver, as well as the cities of Aurora, Fort Collins and Sterling.
The Colorado Housing and Finance Authority, which was launched in 1974 and has helped to either build or preserve some 80,000 affordable rental housing units in the Centennial State, has said that the projects will “seek to address various housing needs in Colorado, supporting individuals, families, and persons experiencing homelessness.”
The projects designated for tax credits include a 118-unit complex at 1001 Lincoln Street; 80 units at 1139 Delaware Street; 156 units with the Central Park Station Phase 1 project; and 63 units with a project called Cole Train that will additionally include a recreation center and parks.
Aurora will see the development of 104 new units for the Crossbar Commons project, while the Sugar Commons project in Serling is slated for 54 new units.
Another 73 units are set for construction in Fort Collins as part of the Village on Eastbrook project.
The Colorado Housing and Finance Authority tax incentives comes as the agency has announced its participation in a second program called the Housing Hub Colorado, which is designed to combine the services of several state agencies to make it easier for developers to apply for affordable tax credits for apartment projects.
In announcing the new effort, Thomas Bryan, executive director of the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority, described Housing Hub Colorado as an “inspiring leap forward to boost efficiency and coordination while supporting the creation of more affordable homes for communities across our state.”
Partners in the Housing Hub Colorado initiative include the Colorado Department of Local Affairs, the Colorado Office of Economic Development & International Trade, and the Housing Stability Department of both the city and county of Denver.
