COLORADO, USA The money from the latest federal relief package for housing assistance will be available in Colorado this week, according to the state Department of Local Affairs (DOLA.)
Colorado will receive more than $385 million, with more than $137 million of that divided into portions for individual counties.
While there won t be a lapse in assistance from programs like Property Owner Preservation (POP), or the Emergency Housing Assistance Program (EHAP), there is a delay in getting the money out to people approved to receive it.
