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.
