Housing Development Grant Funds (HDG)
Created by the Colorado state treasury, the Housing Development Grant Fund (HDG) is administered by the Division of Housing (DOH). This fund consists of monies appropriated to the Colorado Affordable Housing Construction Grants Fund by the General Assembly.
HDG provides funds for acquisition, rehabilitation, and new construction through a competitive application process to improve, preserve or expand the supply of affordable housing, and to finance foreclosure prevention activities in Colorado, and to fund the acquisition of housing and economic data necessary to advise the State Housing Board on local housing conditions.
