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 14 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 Denver Volunteers of America Living Center?
Apply to the property, not to the housing authority. Call the office at (720) 264-3312 and ask whether the waiting list is open and how to get an application. Denver Volunteers of America Living Center keeps its own waiting list, separate from the Section 8 voucher list. Expect to show ID, Social Security numbers and proof of income for everyone in the household.
What is the income limit for Denver Volunteers of America Living Center?
Household income has to be at or below the very low income limit, which is 50% of the area median for your household size. 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.
How much is rent at Denver Volunteers of America Living Center?
Residents pay about 30% of their adjusted income toward rent and HUD pays the rest to the property. HUD's most recent resident data shows households here paying an average of $326 a month toward rent and utilities. 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 Denver Volunteers of America Living Center?
No. This is Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities: 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.
