Scale profile for Adams County Housing Authority

With 1,600 authorized Housing Choice Voucher units, Adams County Housing Authority sits at the 83rd percentile of every U.S. PHA that reports an HCV ceiling , and at the 81st percentile inside CO. That puts it among the larger local administrators of federal rental assistance, not a single-office rural authority.

Across CO's 55 HUD FMR areas, FY2026 2-bedroom payment standards run $973–$2,467/month (median $1,164). A large PHA like this typically serves more than one FMR area, so applicants should look up the metro-specific standard rather than treating the state median as their number. 5 other CO PHAs appear in the nearby list below; comparing authorized-unit counts there shows whether Adams County Housing Authority is the dominant local issuer or one of several large peers.
