Underwriting and Guidelines

The purpose of the Affordable Rental Housing Program and Underwriting Guidelines is to identify the city's affordable rental housing policy objectives, describe the activities available to advance the objectives, and describe the manner in which the activities will be evaluated, underwritten and selected for funding. The guidelines are intended to achieve compliance with federal, state and local regulations and set the standards for all affordable rental housing projects funded by the City of Colorado Springs, regardless of funding source.
