Housing Choice Voucher Program

Also known as Section 8, the Housing Choice Voucher program helps eligible families rent a home of their choice in the private market — with HOME paying a portion of the rent directly to the landlord.

How It Works

Three steps to a home of your choice

1

Join the waitlist

Submit your waitlist application online through the Applicant Portal — from any phone or computer, in minutes.

2

Receive your voucher

When your name is reached, we verify your eligibility (income and family size) and issue your voucher.

3

Choose your home

Find a rental that fits your family. After the unit passes inspection, HOME pays its share of the rent directly to your landlord each month.

Project-Based Vouchers

Unlike a regular voucher that moves with your family, Project-Based Voucher assistance is attached to specific apartments in select communities. If you move in, you pay affordable rent for as long as you live there — no separate voucher needed.
