Income limits for senior housing in Colorado

HUD sets income limits by area. In fiscal year 2026, for a 1-person household it ranges from $34,100 to $52,500, and for a 2-person household it ranges from $39,000 to $60,000 across Colorado's counties.

What is different in Colorado

Colorado pays a yearly rebate to older residents with low income who pay rent, property tax or heating bills. It is called the PTC Rebate (Property Tax, Rent and Heat). It can be up to $1,178 a year, plus a small TABOR refund of up to $38. For the 2025 rebate you must have lived in Colorado all year and be 65 or older, or a surviving spouse 58 or older, by December 31, 2025. Total income from all sources must be under $19,094 if single or $25,788 if married. You also can't be claimed as someone's dependent.

You apply on form DR 0104PTC, by mail or at a Department of Revenue Taxpayer Service Center. The address on your application must match your driver license or Colorado ID, or the rebate will be delayed. Payments follow a fixed schedule. Applications approved by December 10, 2026 are paid in full in early January 2027. The last day to file for 2025 is December 31, 2027. For future years, filing in January or early February with direct deposit gets you paid fastest. If you are both a senior and a person with a disability, you can claim only one benefit a year: this rebate or the new Disability Assistance Credit.

Colorado also has a Home Modification Tax Credit of up to $5,000 per person for changes such as ramps, grab bars, wider doors or a safer bathroom. Renters can use it with written permission from the landlord. It covers work finished from 2019 through 2028. Call 720-527-0836 to ask about it.
