Colorado Housing Finance Authority

CHFA’s mission is to strengthen Colorado by investing in affordable housing and community development. We were created in 1973 by the Colorado General Assembly to address the shortage of affordable housing in the state.  In 1982, when the Colorado economy was experiencing economic difficulties, C​HFA began making loans to businesses.​​​​

Since 1974, CHFA has invested more than $32.5 billion into Colorado’s economy. These resources have helped:

• 147,372 ​Colorado homebuyers achieve homeownership;
• 189,652 households attend homebuyer education classes held statewide;
• 79,265 affordable rental housing units be developed or preserved; and
• 8,411 businesses access capital to support 85,301 jobs.​​

Our network of participating lenders and community partners helps us deploy our resources statewide and are instrumental to our work.

We are known for our commitment to innovation and customer service. We also offer a wide variety of professional education classes and technical assistance to help our customers and partners succeed. ​​
