Adams County Housing Authority (ACHA) serves Adams County residents for whom conventional housing is unaffordable. We assist individuals, families, seniors and persons with disabilities throughout all of Adams County, including the rural and unincorporated areas. Our goal is to provide these households with quality, affordable housing options while supporting their efforts to achieve economic self-sufficiency.

Our programs and services include the following: Public Housing, Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program, Housing Counseling, Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSS), Financial Assistance Programs (rent/mortgage and utilities assistance) and a Homeownership Program. We also own and manage several affordable multi-family apartment communities throughout the county. Most are available at below market rents.

The Housing Authority is an independent public corporation authorized by the state under the Colorado Revised Statutes §29-4-501. ACHA is a body corporate and politic which was officially organized in 1974 and has been a HUD approved housing counseling agency since 1978.

The Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP)

The Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) was created to address the series of problems arising from the significant number of foreclosed homes.  These problems include property value loss, lost revenue both in the public and private sectors, the increase in incidents of blight and crime due to vacant foreclosed homes, and the shrinking mobility of loans for refinance due to lost equity.

The program is authorized under Title III of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, signed into law on July 30, 2008.  Through an allocation process based on need, Adams County will receive $4.6 million in direct federal allocations and an additional $2.75 million in state-directed federal funding.  NSP was created to be a five-year program with a sunset date of July 30, 2013, after which time all remaining funding will be returned to the U.S. Treasury Department. Adams County has chosen the Adams County Housing Authority to be the managing partner of the County’s NSP activities,

This funding can be used for a variety of activities designed to stabilize housing and eligible uses include the following:

  • Use as a financing mechanism to ensure housing affordability
  • Acquisition, rehabilitation and resale or rental of foreclosed homes
  • Acquisition, demolition and redevelopment of blighted structures
  • Land banking 

All of these eligible activities will be pursued within Adams County.   

Proposal Details

The Adams County Housing Authority plans to establish a revolving line of credit for the acquisition, rehabilitation, and disposition of foreclosed residential property.  The Housing Authority is soliciting proposals from experienced lenders with the following terms:

  • Revolving line of credit up to $4.0 million
  • 3 year initial term with options to extend the term an additional year
  • Interest rate competitive with existing mortgage rates
  • Deferred interest payments of at least 6 months after each acquisition
  • Flexible terms with no minimum draw downs

ACHA acquired Terrace Garden apartments, 7100 Hooker Street, Westminster, CO on August 5, 2008. The 180-unit complex is located along major bus routes and 0.5 mile from the Highway 36/Federal Interchange, providing a good location to tenants within the metro area. The complex will be about two blocks from the future FasTracks commuter rail stop planned at 71st and Hooker/Irving, which is expected to be operational in 2015. ACHA will add tremendous value to the property by asserting our management standards and offering stability to those tenants who remain after our management takeover. Terrace Gardens provides affordable housing to a tenant base that enjoys its value and location attributes. ACHA plans to redevelop the property with higher-density and high quality affordable units to take advantage of the TOD site in the next several years.

Earlier in the summer, ACHA acquired Waterview on the Parkway, an 84 unit community located at 1620 Coronado Parkway, in unincorporated Adams County.
