INCOMING PORTABILITY

** The Colorado Springs Housing Authority is not absorbing at this time, we are billing **

“Portability” is the process to transfer your Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher issued in another Housing Authority’s jurisdiction to the Colorado Springs Housing Authority.

Here’s an explanation of the process to transfer your Section 8 Voucher to Colorado Springs:

bulletYou must fulfill all obligations to your current Housing Authority before your file can be sent to us.  Upon transfer to our jurisdiction all of our rules, policies, payment standards and occupancy standards will apply.  We will conduct a background check for all drug-related or violent criminal activity.
bulletPlease have your current case manager send the necessary paperwork to:

Once we have received your paperwork, please contact the Intake Department to schedule an orientation appointment at 719-387-6728.  Please note that we will not be able to work with you until we have your paperwork from your current Housing Authority.  During our appointment, we will review rules, polices and procedures, along with current payment standards.  You will receive all of the necessary paperwork to find a unit.

bulletPlease allow 3 to 4 weeks for the portability process to be complete.  This includes time for the appointment and scheduling an inspection.
