Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8) provide rental assistance that tenants can use in the private market. The voucher covers a portion of rent, with tenants typically paying 30% of their adjusted gross income. Participants can choose any housing that meets program requirements.
This program includes properties like New Vistas Apartments. Eligibility requires meeting USDA income guidelines, with priority potentially given to lower-income households. All ages are eligible. To obtain an application, contact the management company of the specific property.
Project-Based Vouchers are tied to specific housing units rather than following the tenant. Landlords or developers partner with the housing authority to reserve units for eligible low-income families. Unlike tenant-based HCV vouchers, PBV assistance stays with the unit if the tenant moves.
The Rental Assistance Demonstration program converts Public Housing units to project-based assistance, allowing housing authorities to leverage private funding for property rehabilitation while preserving long-term affordability for residents.
USDA Rural Development finances affordable rental housing in rural areas, including Section 515 properties and Farm Labor Housing, often with rental assistance attached to specific developments.
