How Does the Program Work?
The Housing Choice Voucher Program—often called Section 8—is a federal program from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It helps eligible low-income individuals, seniors, and people with disabilities cover rental costs in the private housing market. As long as the home meets HUD guidelines and the landlord agrees, you’re free to choose where you want to live.
Unlike public housing, this program gives you options. Whether you prefer an apartment, house, or townhouse, you can select the right fit for your lifestyle. The government pays a portion of the rent, and you pay what you can afford based on your income.
