The Housing Choice Voucher Program is a federal initiative that helps low-income families, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities afford safe and decent housing. Participants receive vouchers that cover a portion of their rent, allowing them to choose housing in the private market rather than being limited to public housing.
Administered by local public housing agencies, the program aims to promote housing stability and improve living conditions. Eligible families pay a percentage of their income towards rent, while the voucher covers the difference, ensuring that housing costs remain manageable and accessible for those in need.
