Closed September 18, 2026

Apply: Online

The Denver Housing Authority (PHA code: CO921) operates an annual lottery for its Housing Choice Voucher program, not a traditional waiting list. The 2027 lottery was held on September 17-18, 2026, and is now closed. Limited federal funding has meant no names were selected from the 2025 or 2026 lotteries, and selections from the 2027 lottery are uncertain. Eligibility requires applicants to be 18 years or older and meet income limits. Local preferences may be given to seniors, persons with disabilities, veterans, those experiencing homelessness, or those who live/work locally. Entries do not carry over annually; applicants must re-register each year.
