Jefferson County Housing Authority

Senior Housing

Senior Housing Program Description

The Jefferson County Housing Authority owns and manages two senior subsidized housing facilities, both properties are independent living apartments. The two properties are located in Evergreen and Golden, Colorado.

All units in these senior buildings are carpeted and have private baths with either showers and/or tubs and each unit has private kitchens with stoves and refrigerators. Both buildings have elevators.

Application Process

To apply, you must be either 62 years of age or older and/or disabled/handicapped. You will be required to fill out a preliminary application after which your name is placed on a waiting list. An applicant’s priority for housing assistance is based upon the time and date of the application and a preference is given to residents of Jefferson County. When the applicants name reaches the top of the waiting list, they will be notified in writing.

Due to the nature of the Housing Authority’s programs, we are unable to determine exactly how long an applicant may remain on the waiting list. Because of the limited amount of units available, it is impossible to guarantee housing assistance to every eligible person who applies. Please be sure to notify the Housing Authority in writing of any change in address.
