Housing Choice Vouchers
Housing Choice Vouchers are a form of federal assistance that helps low-income families afford safe and decent housing in the private market. Administered by local public housing agencies, these vouchers allow participants to pay a portion of their rent, while the government covers the rest, ensuring that housing costs remain manageable.
Eligible families receive a voucher that they can use to rent a home of their choice, as long as it meets certain health and safety standards. This program aims to provide greater housing options and promote economic mobility for participants, helping them to live in neighborhoods with better opportunities.
