Housing Programs

Housing Choice Voucher Program

The Housing Choice Voucher Program, designed specifically for seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income families, is a federal initiative that provides low-income housing options and rent assistance. Vouchers are available through your local public housing agency (PHA). This program empowers and encourages participants to select their own housing. The housing options do not have to be part of subsidized housing projects, but there are limits on unit size. Typically, participants must pay 30% of their monthly adjusted income towards their rent, with the voucher program covering the remainder. Eligibility: Applicant income and family size help the PHA determine eligibility. Citizenship and eligible immigration status also play a factor. The family’s income cannot exceed 50% of the median income for the county or metropolitan area where they’re applying to live. Of the vouchers, 75% must go to people whose income is at or less than 30% of their area’s median income. Application: Contact your local public housing agency.

Our Mission in Park & Hot Springs Counties

The Yellowstone Country Assistance Network (YCAN), through a Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), addresses poverty in Cody, Powell, Meeteetse, Ralston (Park County), and Thermopolis, East Thermopolis, Kirby (Hot Springs County). We connect single-parent families with essential child support and childcare services to foster empowerment and stability. In compliance with the federal CSBG Act (42 U.S.C. § 9919(b)), we: 1. Inform custodial parents in single-parent families that participate in CSBG-funded programs, activities, or services about the availability of child support services; and 2. Refer eligible parents to the child support offices of state and local governments.

Streamlined Support Process

Step 1: Application

Complete a CSBG application with your referring case manager to begin the process. You will be asked if you are a single parent in need of child support services from Wyoming Child Support Offices.

Step 2: Online Resources

Housing Choice Voucher Program

Administered by local Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) in Powell, WY.

The Housing Choice Voucher Program, designed specifically for seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income families, is a federal initiative that provides low-income housing options and rent assistance. Vouchers are available through your local public housing agency (PHA). This program empowers and encourages participants to select their own housing. The housing options do not have to be part of subsidized housing projects, but there are limits on unit size. Typically, participants must pay 30% of their monthly adjusted income towards their rent, with the voucher program covering the remainder.

Affordable Housing

Finding affordable rentals can be challenging, especially for those on fixed incomes. Property managers often require income three times the rent and a damage deposit. Consider automatic rent payments to strengthen your application. Contact the Wyoming Housing Network at 307-472-5843 for housing and rental counseling.

WCDA IS THE STATE’S LEADING RESOURCE FOR HOUSING FINANCE.

Our down payment assistance program, homebuyer education and counseling, partnerships with developers, and work with nonprofit community organizations make WCDA the State’s leading resource for housing finance.

In addition to its single-family programs, WCDA currently administers several major affordable rental housing development programs: the Low-income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Program, the National Housing Trust Fund (NHTF) Program, and the HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program. These federal programs have funded more than 5,000 units of affordable rental housing across the state.

WCDA’s Rental Directory provides the names, locations, and contact information for affordable housing developments in Wyoming. Use the Rental Directory Map to choose a location.

USDA Programs

USDA Rural Development supports rural homeownership through the following programs:

  • The Single Family Housing Direct Home Loan Program provides loans directly to families and individuals so they can buy or build homes in rural America.
  • Through its Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program, USDA partners with private lending institutions to help families and individuals buy homes in rural areas.
  • The Home Repair Loan and Grant Program provides loans and grants to help families and individuals repair and modernize homes, making them safer, healthier places to live.
  • The Mutual Self-Help Housing Grant Program provides grants to qualified organizations to help them carry out local self-help housing construction projects. Through this program, USDA works with organizations to provide a unique opportunity for families and individuals to lower the overall purchase price of a new home by investing “sweat equity” into its construction.   

To learn more about USDA homeownership programs, please visit the Single-Family Housing program webpage or contact the Wyoming Rural Development State Office.

Rural Development provides loans and grants to help expand economic opportunities, create jobs, and improve the quality of life for millions of Americans in rural areas. This assistance supports infrastructure improvements, business development, housing, community facilities such as schools, public safety, and health care, and high-speed internet access in rural, Tribal, and high-poverty areas. For more information, visit www.rd.usda.gov/wy. To subscribe to USDA Rural Development updates, visit our GovDelivery subscriber page. 

The federal American Rescue Plan Act’s Homeowner Assistance Fund assists homeowners with mortgage and utility cost relief. We are in the early stages of gathering information for this new program. Please often visit, as program updates will be posted here.
