Section 8 Housing Choice Program
The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program established by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development enables the elderly, disabled, and very-low income individuals and families to obtain and reside in decent, safe, sanitary and affordable housing. Program participants must meet low-income guidelines established for county of residence, and have the freedom to choose housing that will meet all program requirements while remaining affordable.
