Apply Now for Aurora Housing Authority Board
Posted on 10/29/2024

Earlier this year, the Aurora City Council approved Ordinance 2024-29 that modifies the city’s process for recruiting and filling vacancies on the board, as outlined in the city code.

Starting Jan. 1, the Aurora Housing Authority Board will expand to eight members—seven residents and one ex-officio member who is either the mayor or the mayor’s council member designee. The ex-officio member is non-voting.

The board composition must now meet and maintain the following qualifications, unless waived by the majority of the City Council:
One board member with experience in affordable housing
One board member with experience in finance
One board member with experience in development
One board member who has lived in affordable housing or experienced homelessness
Three board members with general backgrounds

Applications will be accepted until further notice. Per the ordinance, current members may apply. To apply, call the City Clerk’s Office at 303.739.7094 or visit AuroraGov.org/Boards. The Aurora City Council will interview selected applicants at a future study session.

The purpose of the Aurora Housing Authority is to develop and promote quality housing while supporting and encouraging economic opportunities leading to self-sufficiency and independence; and ensure the availability of affordable, decent, safe housing for current and future residents of the city.

The board usually meets on the second Thursday of each month at 6 p.m. The term of service has changed from five to three years, and members may serve two consecutive terms. No member appointed after the passage of the ordinance may serve for more than two consecutive terms.
