HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM
The federally funded Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8), is voluntary for both landlords and tenants. It helps eligible families of lower income with their monthly rent payments.
How it works:
A family whose household income is fifty percent or less of the area's medium household income (AMI) is qualified to participate in the program from the Longmont Housing Authority. Through a Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contract, directly monthly payments are made to the landlord/property owner as a portion of the tenant's monthly rent payment. After allowances are made for utilities not included in the rent, the HAP makes up the difference in total amount due.
Example:
If thirty percent of a family's gross monthly income is $600.00, and rent (including utilities) for the selected apartment is $1,600.00 per month, the tenant pays the landlord $600.00 and the remaining $1,000.00 is paid to the landlord by the Longmont Housing Authority through the Housing Choice Voucher Program.

Partners in the Community
LHA continues its efforts to engage, develop, enhance and strengthen our external relationships with key partners, other agencies, and the larger community. Our most significant partnership is the one we have with the City Council and the City’s Housing Programs. For nearly everything we accomplish, the early funding comes for the City of Longmont and we greatly appreciate the level of commitment.
Board members for both LHA and LHDC along with staff met with board members of several agencies that provide similar services to the community. Meetings were held with the Boards, or representatives of the boards of Longmont Christian Housing, Boulder County Housing Authority, St. Vrain Habitat for Humanity, Thistle Housing, Total Long-term Care, and LDDA.
In addition, authority staff participates in several local and regional committees or boards to broaden and strengthen our ties with the community and other agencies. They include Habitat for Humanity Family Selection, Longmont Mediation Program Advisory Committee, 2008 Chamber Leadership Class, Longmont Housing Opportunities Team, Federal Home Loan Bank Board’s Affordable Housing Advisory Committee, City of Longmont Code Enforcement Hording Committee, Longmont’s Multicultural Housing Committee, Personal Investment Enterprise Program, St.Vrain Community Council, and Colorado Executive Director’s Committee.
