Homeless Prevention Activities Program

Homeless Prevention Activities Program (HPAP), created through Colorado Revised Statute § 26-7.8-101, provides funding to Colorado nonprofits and local governments to provide rental assistance, utility assistance, and case management services to households at risk of homelessness. The funding for the program is made available through a variety of sources, including the State Income Tax Check-off program, which allows Colorado residents to make voluntary contributions to the program when filing their state income tax returns. The HPAP program is administered by the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA), Division of Housing, Office of Homeless Initiatives.
