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 12 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 Decatur Street Residences?
Apply to the property, not to the housing authority. Call the office at (303) 893-0520 and ask whether the waiting list is open and how to get an application.

What is the income limit for Decatur Street Residences?
Household income usually has to be at or below the very low income limit (50% of the area median). Properties whose HUD contract dates from before October 1981 may admit households up to the low income limit (80%). Either way, at least 40% of the apartments that open each year go to extremely low income households (24 CFR 5.653). In Denver County the FY2026 very low income limit is $50,400 a year for one person and $72,000 for a household of four.

Residents pay about 30% of their adjusted income toward rent and a HUD contract with the property covers the rest. Your own share is calculated from your household's income when you move in and again each year.
Do I need a Section 8 voucher to live at Decatur Street Residences?
No. This is Project-based Section 8 (converted under the Rental Assistance Demonstration): 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. A Housing Choice Voucher cannot be combined with an apartment that already has project-based assistance.
