Homes Again Program
The Homes Again Purchase Program provides an affordable housing option for qualified low- moderate income residents of Greeley who want to own a home. There are income and residency restrictions; please call for more information on program requirements.
Houses in some cases have been moved to current sites from other locations, or it may be a property that was in foreclosure and purchased by the Authority. In either case, the house receives a complete rehab – inside and out – prior to sale.
- Call Urban Renewal staff at 350.9380 for more information.
Housing Rehabilitation
The Housing Rehabilitation Program provides assistance to low- and moderate-income homeowners to bring their home's plumbing, wiring, etc. up to City Code.
How the Program WorksGURA staff inspect the home to see what work is needed to bring the home's plumbing, heating, wiring, etc. up to City code and hires a
contractor to do the work.
Assistance is
provided in the form of a low- or no-interest rate loan.
Landlords in neighborhoods within the Urban Renewal boundaries may also qualify for the program.
Applications are available or at the Urban Renewal Authority office - 1100 10th Street, Suite 201.
Rehab Loan Application
Home Buyer Assistance Progarm
The process for GURA's down payment assistance begins when a person or persons decide to purchase a home. Ideally, their first step is to contact a lender to see not only if they can qualify, but for how much and whether or not down payment assistance will be needed.

Keys To Rental Housing
It's wise to know your rights and responsibilites as a renter. Several City codes relate to housing. Know what it takes to be in compliance with local laws.
The time to ask this question is not after the security deposit has been paid or the lease signed. Avoid problems down the road by carefully weighing the pros and cons of the rental unit being considered. Be sure the unit and living conditions are right for you!
