WELCOME

A message to our clients and colleagues regarding COVID-19.

Considering recent events, our primary concern is for the health, safety, and well-being of our staff, families and the communities we serve.

The Garfield County Housing Authority will remain in operation while adhering to the guidance on limiting the spread of COVID-19.

  • Our staff will be available through phone calls and email and will limit all non-essential in-person meetings.
  • All individuals allowed into the lobby MUST wear self-provided face masks! Individuals without masks will not be allowed inside.
  • All individuals MUST have their temperature verified at the front door by a staff member before being allowed inside the building. Staff will use a “radiant” no-touch thermometer to take temperatures.
  • We will not be making copies of any paperwork for you at this time, so please mail us copies of your required paperwork or only bring copies to leave with us.
