Weld County Housing Authority administers a Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program
in Weld County. The Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program provides rental assistance
to qualified families, including elderly, disabled and handicapped single individuals, who meet
certain federal requirements. Among these federal requirements are:
A Applicants who have been Involuntarily Displaced:
B. Applicants living in substandard housing (including families who are homeless);
C. Applicants who are paying more than fifty percent of their income toward total housing
costs.
The Housing Authority may also adopt a system of ranking federal preferences to respond to local
housing needs and priorities.
24 CFR 982.210 (b)(3) (iv) provides the authority to a Housing Authority to give a preference to
working families. Weld County Housing Authority is considering amending their administrative
plan to provide for a preference for working families. The proposed change would provide an
additional five point ranking to families who can demonstrate that they have been employed for 20
hours or more per week for the past nine out of the last twelve months. Elderly, disabled and
handicapped households will be considered as meeting the employment preference.
A public hearing will be held at 9:00 p.m. on September 26, 1994, at the Weld County Centennial
Building located at 915 10th Street, Greeley, Colorado to obtain citizen views and to respond to
the proposed change in Weld County Housing Authority's preference policy.
Written summary information is available at the offices of the Weld County Housing Authority,
315 N. I lth Ave. Greeley, Colorado.
If special accommodations are needed, please telephone our office at (303) 352-1551 ext. 6445.
