Introduction
Welcome to the Housing Choice Voucher Program!
If you are entering the program for the first time, congratulations! If you are a current participant who is moving, we are happy to continue serving you!
The Housing Choice Voucher program provides rental assistance subsidy to offer you an opportunity to afford a decent, safe, and sanitary place to live. This opportunity is conditional on the availability of federal funds, owner participation and your compliance with the rules and regulations.
