Property and Asset Management
Total Concept also has apartments throughout the Arkansas Valley to include Las Animas, La Junta, and Salida. Our 1, 2, 3, and 4 bedroom apartments all offer a wide range of amenities. Rent is based on income with some units specifically earmarked for elderly or disabled individuals. All units are well maintained with some being new or newly remodeled. We are well versed in housing compliance issues ranging from HUD to USDA Rural Development to Low Income Housing Tax Credit Properties (LIHTC). We also work closely with the Colorado Housing Finance Authority (CHFA), Department of Local Affairs (DOLA), and Division of Housing (DOH).
Total Concept manages the Las Animas/Bent County Housing Authority. This public entity, formed in 1966, was reorganized in 1973, providing services in the town of Las Animas and Bent County. Total Concept manages the Housing Choices Voucher Program (Section 8), two low-income housing projects, and all staff for operations.
We own and/or manage a number of apartment complexes. As of 2013, we are responsible for 239 units comprising 11 projects, and 124 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers for the Las Animas/ Bent County Housing Authority. Our management approach focuses on four primary areas: Tenant Management, Fiscal Management, Facilities Management, and Compliance & Regulatory Management. Utilizing a team-approach to management, we provide the leadership necessary for a successful project. We are also able to draw from our affiliation with the NeighborWorks of America through their resources and peer organization resources.
