Housing Choice Voucher Program (formerly Section 8)
The Housing Choice Voucher Program (formerly Section 8) provides rental assistance to very low income households as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The family pays approximately 30 percent of their income towards rent and utilities and the Housing Authority pays the remainder of the costs. The Section 8 program also includes the Homeless and the Family Self Sufficiency programs.

• The Homeless Program provides Housing Choice Vouchers for families on our waiting list who have been homeless and are actively participating in the Home Start Program. (A transitional housing program.)
• The Family Self Sufficiency Program, a component of the Housing Choice Voucher Program, provides assistance to households who are working to become free of welfare. To participate, the family must sign a five year contract during which time the family head must seek and maintain employment with their ultimate goal to become self sufficient.

We are not currently open for enrollment for the Housing Choice Voucher Program (formerly Section 8). When the Housing Authority opens the waiting list, the Housing Authority will advertise through public notice in newspapers, minority publications and media entities, including this website. The publication will contain:

• The dates, times and location that households may apply.
• A brief description of the program.
• Limitation, if any, on whom may apply.
• The waiting list will remain open long enough to create a list adequate to cover project turnover and new allocations.

ELIGIBILITY IS LIMITED TO VERY-LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS
THE FOLLOWING GROSS ANNUAL INCOME LIMITS APPLY:
Effective 5/17/10
