A Quick Guide To Affordable Housing Programs You Need
1. Section 8 Programs: HCV & PBV
The Section 8 program includes Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) and Project-Based Vouchers (PBV). To apply for HCV, contact your local Public Housing Authority (PHA) and complete the application process, which includes providing income and family size information. PBVs are linked to specific housing units, and you apply directly at the housing location. Both programs aim to make rent more affordable by paying a portion directly to landlords.
