The La Junta Housing Authority owns and manages housing for low-income residents at affordable rents. The Public Housing (PH) program provides rental assistance to qualified low-income families, the elderly, persons with disabilities and is a federally funded program overseen by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The program covers residents of Otero County.
Public housing agencies, including the public housing agency in La Junta, are required to submit and receive approval from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development Colorado State Office every 5 years. They detail the housing authority’s strategy, outreach programs, operations, and policies so information can change. The La Junta HA code is CO031, and it’s part of the Colorado State Office.
