As the housing authority serving Fort Collins, Wellington, and Larimer County, Housing Catalyst administers more than 1,600 federal housing vouchers each year.
Through rental assistance programs, Housing Catalyst works to increase housing opportunities for residents of Northern Colorado. Our goal is to improve the lives of families and individuals in our community, utilizing the maximum amount of voucher funding available to us.
For questions about housing vouchers, rental assistance, or waiting lists, please contact your Housing Assistance Coordinator.
Applications for the Housing Choice Voucher waiting list are not being accepted at this time. Sign up on our Voucher Waiting Lists webpage to receive email notifications for future openings.
Housing Choice Vouchers help cover the cost of rent for families with low incomes, people with disabilities, and seniors. Since housing assistance is provided on behalf of the family or individual, participants are able to find their own rental home, including single-family homes, townhouses and apartments. The participant is free to choose any housing that meets the requirements of the program.
A housing subsidy is paid to the landlord directly by Housing Catalyst on behalf of the participating family. The family then pays the difference between the actual rent charged by the landlord and the amount subsidized by the program. Voucher program participants usually pay about 30% of their monthly income toward rent.
