What is the Housing Choice Voucher Program?

The HCV Program, also known as Section 8, provides vital rental assistance to low-income families, seniors, and individuals with disabilities. This program helps make safe, quality housing more affordable by subsidizing a portion of the rent, allowing participants to focus on building stability and achieving self-sufficiency.
