This program is available to eligible families meeting income guidelines. Funding for this program is received from the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Applicant, once approved for housing, attends a briefing session and seeks their own unit. All units must be inspected and meet housing quality standards. The Housing Authority will then sign a contract with the landlord on behalf of the family and the family signs a lease with the landlord.
Payments for rent and/or utilities will be made to the landlord and/or tenant based on income of family, rent and allowance for a particular unit, and unit size.
Annual inspections and recertifications are required as a part of this program.
