If you already have a housing voucher

A Housing Choice Voucher pays part of the rent in a privately owned apartment you find yourself. It cannot be used in an apartment that is already subsidized, so the 69 income-based apartments here are not an option for it. Browse landlords in Denver who accept vouchers or see Section 8 rent limits and housing authorities in Denver County.

Frequently asked questions

How do I apply to California Park East?
Apply to the property, not to the housing authority. Call the office at (303) 298-8529 and ask whether the waiting list is open and how to get an application.

What is the income limit for California Park East?
Household income usually has to be at or below the very low income limit (50% of the area median).

Do I need a Section 8 voucher to live at California Park East?
No. This is Project-based Section 8: the assistance is attached to the apartment, not to the tenant, so it is there when you move in and stays behind when you move out. One apartment is not subsidized; ask the office whether a Housing Choice Voucher can be used there.
