Homeowner Needs and Community Engagement

What Quantitative Data Has Informed the Participant’s Planning?

Treasury will assess the extent to which a Participant has, in the course of its HAF planning process, relied on

quantitative data, including from community-based organizations or organizations that serve potentially

eligible homeowners. 

In its HAF planning process, has the Participant obtained quantitative data from mortgage servicers, private

data providers, government entities, community-based organizations, or other sources to inform its planning

about how to target and best serve eligible homeowners with mortgage delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures?

Yes

If yes, please list and, briefly describe each source of quantitative data.

The Division of Housing (DOH) was provided data by the Treasury, contributed by a number of

federal agencies which included information on mortgage delinquencies and forbearances,

breakdowns by demographic factors, and concentration among mortgage servicers. DOH also

used data from:

Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) – statewide data on loan originations by type,

race/ethnicity, and area median income.

American Community Survey 5-year estimates – data on homeowner demographics

disaggregated by race/ethnicity, area median income, and geography.

Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA) – loan-level data from CHFA mortgage

portfolio providing information on mortgage delinquency and forbearance. This dataset

provided information disaggregated by loan type, race, area median income, and county

delinquency.

Mortgage Analytics and Performance Dashboard (MAPD) – accessed by the Federal Reserve

Bank of Atlanta via Black Knight, LLC, constructed statewide estimates from daily mortgage

performance data (available with a two-day lag) on mortgage delinquencies and forbearances.

This data did not cover all loans in Colorado.

Mortgage Bankers Association, State Mortgage Market Profiles – statewide data on delinquency

by loan type and severity.

In its HAF planning process, has the Participant obtained and reviewed quantitative data or studies regarding

which demographic segments in its jurisdiction have historically experienced discrimination in the housing or

housing finance market?

Yes

If yes, please list and, briefly describe each source of quantitative data.

2015-2019 State of Colorado Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. This most recent

AI found that Black/African American and Hispanic residents faced much higher rates of home

loan denials when compared to their white counterparts, even when taking income into account.

A 2008 report on Discriminatory Predatory Lending in Colorado prepared for the Colorado

Civil Rights Division. The report found that Black/African American and Hispanic residents
HAF Grantee Plan - HAFP-0081 -State of Colorado - Extracted 03/28/2022 15:25:53 Page 4 of 22

were twice as likely to get subprime loans that white or Asian residents during active lending

periods prior to the Great Recession—even after adjusting for income levels (a proxy for

creditworthiness in that study). In Denver, Census tracts with high minority populations were

much more likely to have subprime loan activity than low minority populations. Areas in Denver

with a high proportion of linguistically isolated households also had high levels of subprime loan

activity.

Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) – statewide data on loan originations by type,

race/ethnicity, and area median income.

Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA) – loan-level data from CHFA mortgage

portfolio providing information on mortgage delinquency and forbearance. This dataset

provided information disaggregated by loan type, race, area median income, and county

delinquency.

In its HAF planning process, has the Participant obtained quantitative data from utility providers or entities

charged with assessing and collecting property taxes or relied on quantitative data or studies to inform its

planning about how to target and best serve eligible homeowners at risk of displacement due to utility

arrearage or tax foreclosure?

Yes

If yes, please list and, briefly describe each source of quantitative data.

No data from utility providers or entities charged with assessing and collecting property taxes on

homeowners with payments in arrears was readily available statewide. Colorado is a relatively

low property tax state that allows exemptions for property taxes for low income owners. The

state also has a successful and active energy assistance program. To determine if homeowners are

at risk of displacement due to utility arrearage or tax foreclosure, stakeholders were consulted in

focus groups and in a survey. In focus groups, stakeholders in rural resort areas identified high

homeowner fees as being a challenge to maintain during the pandemic. The stakeholder survey

found that the greatest financial challenges facing households after paying the mortgage was

paying off past due utilities.

In the following text box, please list any source not listed above of quantitative information, including

sources of data on the performance of any of the Participant’s previously implemented programs, that the

Participant used to inform its HAF planning process, briefly describe how the data informed the Participant’s

planning.

While the Division of Housing did not utilize data from previously implemented programs, a

survey targeting homeowners and stakeholders was developed to help inform the HAF planning

process. Nearly 350 homeowners and stakeholders were asked questions about their housing

challenges and needs due to COVID-19, how the HAF funds should be utilized to address those

challenges and needs, and what barriers might exist that would prevent eligible homeowners

from applying for funds, among others. In addition to the data analysis, the survey findings

reinforced the need to approach the development of the HAF plan through an equity lens, paying

particular attention to the disproportionate impact experienced by homeowners of color and

their housing financial challenges. 

Additionally, two reports served as a guide to applying an equity lens to the creation of this plan.

Did the Participant communicate with mortgage servicers regarding the development of its program design?

Yes

Did the Participant communicate with other HAF participants regarding the development of its program

design?

Yes

How Has Community Engagement and Public Participation Informed the

Participant’s Planning?

Treasury will assess the extent to which a Participant’s assessment of homeowner needs has been informed

by and reflects input from organizations and individuals representing eligible homeowners, including any

opportunities for public participation in the development of the Participant’s plan. Treasury will pay

particular attention to the extent of the Participant’s engagement with populations that are the subject of

statutory targeting requirements.

Has the Participant requested and received input on its HAF planning process from providers of housing

counseling services or providers of legal assistance to homeowners facing foreclosure or displacement?

Yes

Provider information

If yes, please list such providers, including the providers’ address and website. Please indicate by checking

Has the Participant consulted with localities or tribal governments (cities, counties, or rural communities) in

its jurisdiction regarding the needs of eligible homeowners in its jurisdiction?

Yes

Has the Participant provided an opportunity for public input regarding its HAF Plan through public hearings

or published materials?

Yes

If yes, please indicate whether a proposed or draft plan was published, please describe where details about the

comment solicitation were posted, for how long, in what languages, and whether any efforts were made to

make the posting accessible to persons with disabilities or individuals without reliable internet access.

This HAF Plan was informed by three virtual public hearings (with phone access) held June 30,

July 1 and July 8 regarding development of Colorado’s HAF plan. The Draft Plan was published

on August 2, 2021, and public comments were accepted through August 11, 2021 by e-mail. The

draft plan was only published in English but the survey to help inform the development of the

plan was also available in Spanish. Numerous community-based organizations and housing
HAF Grantee Plan - HAFP-0081 -State of Colorado - Extracted 03/28/2022 15:25:53 Page 8 of 22

counseling agencies were informed of the draft plan so that they could inform the communities

they serve.

How Will the Participant Continue to Assess the Needs of Eligible

Homeowners?

Treasury anticipates that an ongoing process of assessing the needs of eligible homeowners will help address

the needs of potentially eligible homeowners as economic conditions change over time.

Does the Participant plan to update its assessment of community needs within the next year to determine

whether its HAF program design should be updated to address changing needs of potentially eligible

homeowners?

Yes

What additional data would be helpful to the Participant as it seeks to assess homeowner needs over time?

Monitoring delinquency loan data from CHFA would help DOH assess the efficacy of the current

approach to disbursing HAF funds. A comprehensive dataset on utility delinquencies and HOA

fee delinquencies would also be beneficial. Academic studies on the efficacy of programs funded

through the HAF and best practices from other states would also be valuable.

Program Design

What are the Program Design Elements Through Which the Participant Will

Deliver HAF Assistance to Eligible Homeowners?

A program design element is a specific activity or program, which is consistent with a qualified expense

category, under which a Participant will disburse HAF funds in accordance with the HAF Plan. Please note

that multiple program design elements may fit under a single qualified expense category; for example, a

mortgage assistance program that has different terms for federally backed mortgages and manufactured-home

mortgages may constitute two separate program design elements, for which case the Participant provides a

separate term sheet or other description for each program design element. 

HAF participants must have at least one program design element intended to reduce mortgage delinquency

among targeted populations. Treasury encourages HAF participants to consider program design elements that

address homeownership preservation for targeted populations in areas where there is a sustained trend of

increasing property taxes or utility costs, including for households that do not have mortgages.

Please identify each qualified expense category in which the Participant will offer a program design element

by checking the boxes below.

mortgage payment assistance 

 mortgage principal reduction, including with respect to a second mortgage provided by a nonprofit

or government entity 

 payment assistance for homeowner’s utilities, including electric, gas, home energy, and water 

 payment assistance for homeowner’s insurance, flood insurance, and mortgage insurance 

 payment assistance for delinquent property taxes to prevent homeowner tax foreclosures 

 payment assistance for down payment assistance loans provided by nonprofit or government

entities 

 financial assistance to allow a homeowner to reinstate a mortgage or to pay other housing-related

costs related to a period of forbearance, delinquency, or default 

facilitating mortgage interest rate reductions 

 payment assistance for homeowner’s internet service, including broadband internet access service,

as defined in 47 CFR 8.1(b) 

 payment assistance for homeowner’s association fees or liens, condominium association fees, or

common charges 

 measures to prevent homeowner displacement, such as home repairs to maintain the habitability of

a home or assistance to enable households to receive clear title to their properties 
HAF Grantee Plan - HAFP-0081 -State of Colorado - Extracted 03/28/2022 15:25:53 Page 10 of 22

For each program design element that the Participant will offer, the Participant is required to upload a term

sheet or other description, that, at a minimum, provides the following information regarding that program

design element. Term sheets for all of Participant’s HAF programs may be uploaded together as one

document.

CO Responses to HAF 0081 feedback 2-15-22 2/15/2022 6:09 PM

A HAF participant may elect to revise its HAF Plan over time to add or subtract program design elements.

Does the Participant anticipate adding additional program design elements to this HAF Plan within one year

of this submission?

Yes

Treasury has provided sample term sheets to assist HAF participants in developing their HAF plans.

Participants may use these sample term sheets, in whole or in part, as part of their submission. To the extent

the Participant intends to structure the program differently with respect to significant program terms

described in the Sample Term Sheets, Treasury will, in the course of its review of the HAF Plan, request a

justification for how the alternate approach will further the objectives of the HAF, including targeting and

prioritization requirements. In the chart below, the HAF Participant may provide a justification for significant

deviations from the terms described in the sample term sheets upon initial submittal. (optional for initial

submission)

Documentation of Homeowner Income

Homeowners are eligible to receive amounts allocated to a HAF participant under the HAF only if they have

incomes equal to or less than 150% of the area median income or 100% of the median income for the United

States, whichever is greater. In addition, not less than 60% of amounts made available to each HAF

participant must be used for qualified expenses that assist homeowners having incomes equal to or less than

100% of the area median income or equal to or less than 100% of the median income for the United States,

whichever is greater. The HAF guidance describes permissible ways for HAF participants to determine

homeowner income.

Under the HAF guidance, one permissible approach for determining income is for (1) the household to

provide a written attestation as to household income and (2) the HAF participant to use a reasonable

fact-specific proxy for household income, such as reliance on data regarding average incomes in the

household’s geographic area. Will the Participant allow income to be determined in this way?

Yes

If yes, please describe the fact-specific proxy or proxies to be used for the income determination.

In addition to written attestation, DOH will use census tract AMIs for certain counties/areas in

the state as fact-specific proxies that will be used to make income determinations.
HAF Grantee Plan - HAFP-0081 -State of Colorado - Extracted 03/28/2022 15:25:53 Page 11 of 22

Under the HAF guidance, HAF participants may provide waivers or exceptions to this documentation

requirement as reasonably necessary to accommodate extenuating circumstances, such as disabilities,

practical challenges related to the pandemic, or a lack of technological access by homeowners; in these cases,

the HAF participant is still responsible for making the required determination regarding household income

and documenting that determination. Will the Participant allow applicants to request such waivers or

exceptions?

Yes

Eligible Mortgage Types

Please indicate which of the following mortgage types are eligible to be assisted under one or more of the

Participant’s program design elements.

 First Mortgages 

 Reverse Mortgages (Home Equity Conversion Mortgages, Single-Purposes Reverse Mortgages, or

Proprietary Reverse Mortgages) 

 Contracts for Deed or Land Contract (if it is a credit transaction secured by a consensual security

interest in a dwelling) 

 Second Mortgages 

 Loans Secured by Manufactured Housing (secured by real estate or dwelling) 

If the Participant excludes any of the forgoing mortgage types from one or more program design elements,

explain the exclusion.

None excluded

How Will the Participant Target HAF Resources Consistent with Statutory

Requirements? 

The Participant must describe how it will target HAF resources in accordance with the HAF guidance.

Targeting strategies are affirmative efforts to inform, encourage the participation of, and facilitate access to

resources for targeted households, including by offering multiple intake formats, engaging with nonprofit

organizations (e.g., housing counselors or legal services organizations) to provide additional pathways into

the program, and providing community outreach, partnerships with housing counseling agencies or legal aid

organizations, or other educational services that are aligned with the HAF participant’s program design, in a

manner that is culturally and linguistically relevant to the targeted communities.

Defining Socially Disadvantaged Individual

Please describe the process the Participant will use to determine whether a homeowner is a “socially

disadvantaged individual” as defined in the HAF guidance.

The definition of “socially disadvantaged individual” provided in the HAF guidance articulates

that the impairment facing the individual must stem from circumstances beyond their control.

Indicators of impairment under this definition include: being a member of a group that has been

subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias within American society; resident of a
HAF Grantee Plan - HAFP-0081 -State of Colorado - Extracted 03/28/2022 15:25:53 Page 12 of 22

majority-minority Census tract; individual with limited English proficiency; resident of a U.S.

territory, Indian reservation, or Hawaiian Home Land; or individuals who live in a persistent

poverty county, meaning any county that has had 20% or more of its population living in poverty

over the past 30 years as measured by the three most recent decennial censuses.

The Division of Housing will utilize the indicators of impairment as defined under in the HAF

guidance via the application process to determine whether an applicant qualifies as a socially

disadvantaged individual.

Public Communications

Will the Participant engage in a public communications campaign to raise awareness among targeted

populations about the availability of HAF resources, in media such as television, newspapers, online media,

or social media?

Yes

If yes, please indicate whether the public communications campaign will include communications that

primarily target the following populations:

 Homeowners earning less than 100% of area median income 

 member of a group that has been subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias within

American society; 

 resident of a majority-minority Census tract; (3) 

 resident of a U.S. territory, Indian reservation, or Hawaiian Home Land 

 homeowners in persistent poverty counties; 

 individual with limited English proficiency 

Please indicate in which languages, in addition to English, public communications to targeted populations

will be undertaken:

Spanish; Other

Please list any other languages.

DOH will provide outreach materials in Spanish, as well as other languages if it is determined

that there is sufficient demand.

Outreach

Will the Participant engage in outreach through partnerships with organizations that focus primarily on

serving homeowners earning incomes below 100% of area median income or socially disadvantaged

individuals and that have the capacity to engage targeted communities in a culturally and linguistically

relevant manner to encourage the submission of applications for HAF resources from targeted populations?

Yes
HAF Grantee Plan - HAFP-0081 -State of Colorado - Extracted 03/28/2022 15:25:53 Page 13 of 22

If yes, please indicate whether the community outreach efforts will include partnerships with organizations

that primarily target the following populations:

 member of a group that has been subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias within

American society; 

 resident of a majority-minority Census tract; (3) individual with limited English proficiency; 

 resident of a U.S. territory, Indian reservation, or Hawaiian Home Land;

 homeowners that reside in persistent poverty counties; 

 individual with limited English proficiency. 

Please list any other languages.

DOH will provide outreach materials in Spanish, as well as other languages if it is determined

that there is sufficient demand.

Housing Counseling and Legal Services

Will the Participant facilitate access for eligible households to housing counseling or legal services?

Yes
