Since 1971, the Littleton Housing Authority dba South Metro Housing Options (SMHO) has been serving the affordable housing needs of Littleton and Arapahoe County, making us the second oldest housing authority in the state of Colorado. SMHO owns and operates six (6) affordable housing communities in Littleton, conveniently located near shops, services, and public transportation.

SMHO is governed by a seven-member Board of Commissioners, and partners closely with the City of Littleton, serving as a leader in affordable housing and supporting community building initiatives.

Our Mission

South Metro Housing Options seeks to strengthen the community by offering a variety of housing options. Our affordable, high-quality housing responds to the needs of residents and the broader community, while upholding ethical stewardship of public funds and assets.

SMHO’s housing and programs are designed as a springboard toward self-sufficiency, promoting dignity, and individuality. We believe access to affordable housing is essential for building a vibrant and productive community of choice.

Resident Services

To support our residents, SMHO offers comprehensive Resident Services programs. This includes coordinating community partnerships, resources, activities, and personalized case management to address residents’ physical, emotional, and financial well-being. Our services go beyond traditional housing support, empowering residents to navigate life’s challenges with viable options and solutions.
