Colorado NAHRO Advocates to Prioritize Public Housing Authority Residents, Staff for COVID-19 Vaccine
On Dec. 17, the Colorado NAHRO Board of Directors advocated on behalf of our member organizations and the nearly 70 Public Housing Authorities and their residents across the State of Colorado, requesting that PHA residents and staff be prioritized for the COVID-19 vaccine.

In a letter sent to Governor Polis, DOLA ED Rick Garcia and the Colorado Department of Public Health, Colorado NAHRO emphasized the role PHA's play in supporting some of our state’s most vulnerable citizens by keeping them safe and housed.

Colorado NAHRO Awards $1.6 million in rent relief in 2020

Colorado NAHRO, a non-profit organization working to enhance the affordable housing industry and promote viable communities in Colorado, has distributed $1.6 million in rent relief to residents of Public Housing Authorities across the state of Colorado. The Rent Assistance Fund for Affordable Housing was supported by emergency funding from the State of Colorado (Governor Polis’ Executive Order D 2020 012) as part of its efforts to address evictions and foreclosures for households economically impacted by COVID-19.

This program enabled Colorado NAHRO to work directly with Colorado Public Housing Authorities (PHA) and affordable housing providers to provide rent relief to residents below 80% of the area median income (AMI) whose income was impacted by COVID-19. The funds were distributed to more than 800 households covering a collective 1,700 months of rent assistance.

Colorado NAHRO's Rent Relief Fund is now closed.

As uncertainty remains around COVID-19 and local and state ordinances, we made the difficult decision to POSTPONE our Annual Conference until  May 2021.

Stay tuned for virtual and (hopefully even some smaller, in-person) events in 2020!
