Public Housing Public Housing open

Public Housing units at Mondovi Housing Authority are owned and operated directly by the housing authority. Rent is set at 30% of your adjusted monthly income. Mondovi Housing Authority manages approximately 26 Public Housing units in Mondovi. You may request a transfer to other Public Housing developments but cannot use this benefit at private rental properties.

HCV Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) closed

The Housing Choice Voucher program at Mondovi Housing Authority provides rental assistance that allows you to choose any privately-owned rental unit that meets program requirements. You pay approximately 30% of your adjusted monthly income toward rent, and the voucher covers the remainder up to the Fair Market Rent for Mondovi. Vouchers are portable — you can take them with you if you move to a different city or state.

Mainstream Mainstream Voucher closed

Mainstream Vouchers at Mondovi Housing Authority are specifically designated for non-elderly individuals with disabilities. These vouchers work like standard HCVs but are reserved for this population and often have separate, shorter waitlists.

PBV Project-Based Voucher closed

Project-Based Vouchers at Mondovi Housing Authority are attached to specific apartment complexes or units in Mondovi. Unlike the standard Housing Choice Voucher, PBV assistance stays with the property — not with you. However, after one year of occupancy, you may request a standard portable voucher. PBV waitlists often move faster because fewer applicants know about them.

RAD Rental Assistance Demonstration closed

The Rental Assistance Demonstration program at Mondovi Housing Authority converts Public Housing units to project-based assistance with long-term contracts. RAD units in Mondovi maintain the same resident protections as Public Housing while enabling capital improvements to the properties.
