Rental terms used on this page
- Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8)
- Rental help run by a housing authority. You find a home, and the agency checks the unit, rent and your household before it approves payment.
- Payment standard
- An amount the agency uses to work out housing assistance for a unit size and area. It does not mean that any home at that rent will be approved.
- FMR and SAFMR
- HUD rent estimates for an area (Fair Market Rent) or ZIP code (Small Area Fair Market Rent). They include rent and most tenant-paid utilities. Your agency may use a different payment standard.
- Utility allowance
- The agency’s estimate of the cost of utilities you must pay. It is not a promise to pay your actual bills.
- Gross rent and tenant share
- Gross rent combines the lease rent and the agency’s utility allowance. Your tenant share is the part you must pay after the agency works out your help.
- Portability
- Moving with a voucher to an area served by another housing agency. Ask your current worker what to do before you move.
- Request for tenancy approval
- The unit and owner paperwork your agency needs to start its rent and housing-quality review. Ask the agency for its form and deadline.

Planning a voucher search in Ruby Hill
Compare Ruby Hill units using the actual street approach and any stairs between the sidewalk and your door. If cycling is part of your routine, check the route and secure storage rather than assuming a nearby park solves either. Ask the owner which utilities and outdoor maintenance duties belong to the tenant.
Use Hadley’s document and technology services

Hadley Branch Library | Denver Public LibraryDistinguish bike features from the multiuse trail
The city describes Ruby Hill Bike Park as a 7.5-acre site with pump tracks, skills features and a 1.7-mile natural-surface perimeter trail for multiple uses. Check conditions and closures; these facilities do not establish bicycle storage at a rental.
Bike Parks - City and County of DenverQuestions about your Ruby Hill search
- Does a bike-park location guarantee secure storage in the apartment?
- Ask the owner where bicycles may be kept, whether access is controlled and whether a storage fee applies.
- Can I assume every park path is an all-weather commute route?
- Check the surface, designated use and current conditions for your route. The city may close bike-park features and asks visitors to avoid wet or muddy riding.
