Housing Voucher Program
An integrated approach to mental health must include an examination of housing needs and resources for at-risk populations.
AspenPointe can help qualified clients apply for Section 8 (income-based) housing and help chronically homeless individuals receive housing through Shelter Plus Care.
For people living with mental illnesses or disabilities, home is a place that provides safety, stability and dignity - essential qualities in recovery and health.
In addition to federal programs designed to help those with disabilities achieve home ownership, public housing programs exist in Colorado to help low income and disabled citizens find adequate housing.
Section 8 is a tenant-based rental assistance program that provides vouchers or certificates to subsidize rent. Under this program, a person pays either 30 percent of his or her adjusted income, 10 percent of gross income, or the welfare assistance amount designated for housing. The certificate or voucher pays the remainder of the rent to the landlord.
Eligibility Criteria:
Clients must be referred by clinicians to housing program. Shelter Plus Care is only open to clients who meet the HUD definition of chronic homelessness of homeless for one year or having 4 incidents of homelessness in 3 years.
