The Colorado 9% Atlas: milestones in order, each with one line of executive truth and its guide
The Colorado Atlas as a reader sees it: the milestones in order; each opens to its guide.
The pathway

12 milestones, from site to Form 8609.

Each milestone opens to its tasks, each task to its actions and the proof package it must produce. One line of each milestone's executive truth, as the edition reads today.

  1. Site Control & FeasibilityThis stage decides whether the site and the proposed development can support the application as one coherent case.
  2. PredevelopmentPredevelopment turns the concept into one project that design, cost and underwriting can all support.
  3. Application Submission & ScoringThis stage turns a promising Colorado project into the application the agency will actually judge.
  4. Award & ReservationThis stage converts a successful application into a reservation the team can prove and protect.
  5. Carryover Allocation & Ten Percent TestThis stage decides whether the reserved award has become a supportable allocation on the right post-award route.
  6. Closing & Construction StartThis stage decides whether the approved transaction has become an operable closing set and a provable construction start.
  7. Construction ReportingConstruction Reporting gives the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority a reliable view of work that is already moving.
  8. Placed in Service / Lease-UpThis stage turns completed buildings into a controlled housing operation.
  9. Cost Certification, Form 8609 & Final AllocationThis stage turns the completed development into the final record that supports Colorado's allocation decision.
  10. Compliance Onset & First-Year CertificationThis stage turns a completed development into an operating affordable housing property with a defensible opening compliance record.
  11. Compliance Operations CurrentThis stage proves that recurring Colorado compliance is working in practice and can be reproduced from current evidence.
  12. Extended Use & DispositionThis stage keeps Colorado's affordability bargain operative after the initial compliance period and through later transactions.
Inside the edition

The guide, the Gantt and the calendar.

01

The guide

Every milestone, task, action, proof package and document of the Colorado 9% deal, written to be read, not recited — what this task validates, why it matters, where it sits, what “done” looks like, the watchouts, and the requirement it comes from.

02

The Gantt

The deal in time: how long the work takes, and which waits sit with the agency, the lender or the municipality, not with you. A gate closes every milestone, and the Gantt shows what the gate needs before it opens.

03

The calendar

Colorado's clocks — what starts each one, how long it runs, the condition it depends on and where the rule is written. The ones that decide a round, a reservation, a carryover, a placed-in-service date.

Who it is for

Developers, consultants and counsel who are responsible for knowing what a Colorado 9% deal requires, and for being right about it. If a new project manager could run your next application from it without asking you twice, it did its job.

An edition is one state and one program. It is read on the web, signed in; it is not a PDF. $500 a year per edition, renews until cancelled; your subscription carries every update.
