We continually seek new landlords to work with us in providing rental assistance to eligible persons through our Housing Choice Voucher Program. The unit must meet HUD Housing Quality Standards and the rent must be approvable within HUD Fair Market Rents and market rate comparables. Rental voucher holders select a unit from the private rental market. Rental assistance through the Housing Choice Voucher Program makes market rate housing affordable. Program participants normally pay no more than 30% of monthly adjusted income towards rents and utilities. The housing assistance payment subsidizes the balance of the rent to the property owner.
The benefits to landlords are:
- Rental of vacant units
- The landlord selects the residents and retains management
- HUD contracts directly with the landlord for a specified time
- Assurance of receiving the housing assistance payment covering a portion of the rent on a regular basis
If you are interested in making your property available to participants, please download the
program guide for landlords/owners or call 385-5750 for more information.
