CO HB1019

Allows the Division of Housing to use contractors or grantees to administer homelessness programs, in addition to direct division administration

Program provides rental assistance, housing vouchers, and eviction defense assistance (legal, financial, and case management) to persons experiencing or at risk of homelessness

Up to 45% of money transferred to the support fund annually may be used for the program, with the division retaining up to 5% for its own administrative costs

Division may negotiate reasonable administrative or project delivery costs for contractors/grantees to administer the program, separate from the division's 5% administrative allocation

Division must consider past performance history when selecting contractors or grantees to administer the program
