Housing Choice Voucher program (Section 8)
The housing choice voucher program (Section 8) is a program for assisting very low-income families, the elderly,
and the disabled to afford decent, safe, and sanitary
housing in the private market. Since housing assistance is
provided on behalf of the family or individual, participants
are able to find their own housing, including single-family
homes, townhouses and apartments. The participant is free to choose
any housing that meets the requirements of the program and is not limited to units located
in subsidized housing projects. The
HCV Admin Plan
document is available online in PDF format.
A family that is issued a housing voucher is responsible for
finding a suitable housing unit of the family's choice where the
owner agrees to rent under the program. This unit may include
the family's present residence. Rental units must meet minimum
standards of health and safety, as determined by the PHA.
A housing subsidy is paid to the landlord directly by CMHA on
behalf of the participating family. The family then pays the
difference between the actual rent charged by the landlord and
the amount subsidized by the program.
CMHA's HCV waitlist closed in April 2007. If you applied before the deadline you may
