Douglas County Housing Partnership Funding Transfer
Private Activity Bonds (PABs) are tax-exempt bonds issued by or on behalf of a local or state government to provide financing for IRS qualified projects that have a public benefit. PAB financing may be used for public or private projects such as workforce housing, sewer/water facilities, transportation infrastructure, educational projects, small manufacturing facilities and redevelopment activities. The State of Colorado receives PAB capacity each year and allocates some of it to local governments, including the Town of Parker. For 2021, the Town has received an allocation of $3,197,640 in PAB capacity. Town Council approved via resolution a staff request to assign the Town’s PAB capacity to the Douglas County Housing Authority, which is consistent with prior years. This will support the Housing Partnership’s workforce, affordable and first-time homebuyer housing activities.
Approved 5-1 (In Favor: Barrington, Diak, Hefta, Hendreks, Rivero; Opposed: Poage)
