Section 8 Program

The Section 8 Program is a federal assistance initiative that helps eligible low-income individuals and families afford safe, decent housing. Participants receive vouchers that subsidize a portion of their rent, which they can use to rent homes in the private market. The program aims to promote affordable housing options, offering flexibility in choosing where to live while ensuring housing costs stay manageable relative to income. Local public housing agencies administer the program, and eligibility is based on income and family size. It’s a key component in addressing housing affordability and stability for those in need.
