What Delta Housing Authority does

Delta Housing Authority (DHA) is a federally funded Public Housing Authority and Colorado state government entity headquartered at 501 14th Street, Delta, Colorado, serving residents throughout Delta County. The organization's mission is to provide safe, decent, and affordable housing for low-income families and to support residents' transition from subsidized to non-subsidized housing. DHA is governed by a five-member Board of Commissioners (Chair Cathy Boyd, Vice Chair Kim Guthrie Burch, Commissioners Cheryl Oeltjenbruns and Cynthia Henshaw, and Resident Representative Terri Hocking) and operates with a small staff of approximately six employees.

DHA delivers housing through a multi-program portfolio: a Public Housing program of 75 smoke-free units (1–4 bedrooms, including the Thompson Manor townhome complex and scattered family homes); a Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program administering 236 vouchers across Delta County, including HUD-VASH vouchers for veterans in partnership with the VA; USDA Rural Development-funded Grand Manor Apartments (10 units for seniors 62+ and persons with disabilities); the LIHTC-financed Villas at the Bluff (80 workforce housing units targeted at 30%–60% of area median income); Residences at Delta (one-bedroom senior apartments with EV charging and fitness amenities); and Residences at Delta II (1–3 bedroom family apartments across the Ash Mesa and Mountain View buildings). Tenants across programs typically pay 30% of adjusted household income as rent.

DHA's revenue mechanics derive from three streams: tenant rental income (income-based, ~30% of adjusted income), HUD Housing Assistance Payments made directly to landlords on behalf of voucher holders, and Low-Income Housing Tax Credit equity supporting affordable housing construction. Distribution is entirely direct — DHA owns and operates its properties and administers vouchers with a captive network of participating private landlords in Delta County. Marketing is limited to community outreach, public notices, the deltahousingauthority.org website, and a Resident Advisory Board; there is no commercial sales motion. All units are smoke-free and supported by 24-hour maintenance services.
