Commerce City Housing Authority reports Junction 72 fully leased; county bond role and community space use remain under discussion

Tracy Jones, executive director of the Commerce City Housing Authority, told the Adams County Board of Commissioners that Junction 72, a 92‑unit affordable housing project in Commerce City, is complete and fully leased.

The housing authority presented the project as a family‑oriented development: 53% of units are three‑ and four‑bedroom homes designed to house families near elementary and middle schools and adjacent to the 70th & Colorado RTD light‑rail station. Construction began in December 2022 and, Jones said, was completed in the first quarter of this year. Jones said the project leased rapidly and that “all 92 units [are] filled,” with strong demand from Adams County residents and roughly 30% of residents receiving some form of housing assistance.

Why it matters: the project is one of several in the county financed with an element of Adams County’s private activity bond capacity, which county staff and commissioners said required follow‑up to ensure the county’s expectations for community benefits are met.
