This program provides affordable housing for qualified tenants.  Applicants must apply for assistance, clear the required screenings, and attend an interview to be placed on the waiting list.  When an appropriate sized unit becomes available, it will be made available to the next person on the waiting list.

Housing Choice Voucher Program
(Section 8)

This program provides housing assistance payments to landlords on behalf of qualified voucher recipients.  Applicants must apply for assistance, clear the required screenings, attend an interview and voucher briefing before receiving assistance.  Once a voucher is obtained, the home must meet HQS (housing quality standards) established by HUD and the landlord must be willing to put the home on the Section 8 program.  Utilities are paid for by the tenant on Section 8.  Pest control and lawn maintenance agreements for Section 8 homes are between the tenant and the landlord.
