Section 8 HCV Application

By filling out the waiting list application you understand that you are being placed on a waiting list.  This does not guarantee a housing voucher.  The waiting list applicant agrees to keep their information updated in order for the housing authority to contact you when your name has come to the top of the waiting list.

What are Section 8 housing choice vouchers?

The Section 8 housing choice voucher program is provided by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This program can offer you a voucher to help you afford safe, private housing. Section 8 vouchers are managed by your local public housing agency (PHA).

How Section 8 housing vouchers work

Families with a low income, seniors, and people with disabilities may qualify to use Section 8 vouchers to find housing. 

• You can choose any housing that meets the program requirements, such as a single-family home, townhouse, or apartment. 
• Housing choice vouchers can pay for all or part of your rent. 
• The PHA pays its part of the rent to the owner (landlord), and you as the tenant pay the difference.
