HCV Scam Warning | Grand Junction Housing Authority

Recently an unauthorized entity is falsely presenting itself online, offering a shortcut to the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Waitlist. This scam has evolved, with scammers also impersonating landlords via fake emails and unlawfully soliciting deposits from unsuspecting individuals under the guise of HCV approval.

There are NEVER fees associated with applying for or being placed on the HCV waitlist. Any request for money in exchange for waitlist placement or expedited service is a scam!

Access to the HCV waitlist is always processed through official Public Housing Agency (PHA) channels. All official communications regarding HCV waitlist placement will come directly from your local Housing Authority. Verify any suspicious emails or offers by referring to the official list of PHA contacts at https://www.hud.gov/program_offices/public_indian_housing/pha/contacts

Currently all phone lines at our main office location on Foresight and some of our property management offices (The Highlands & 2814) are down due to a local outage with our phone provider. We are currently working to get our main incoming phone lines forwarded to other locations. In the meantime if you need to contact us, our office is open 8am-4pm and you can also use the contact form and Maintenance Request forms on our website. We will update this as we have further information but currently the tentative repair time we have been given is Thursday at 7am.
