To apply for a Housing Choice voucher, contact a public housing agency in your state. If you need more assistance, contact your local HUD office. You will need to fill out a written application or have a representative of your local PHA help you.

Housing choice vouchers are administered locally by public housing agencies (PHAs).A housing subsidy is paid to the landlord directly by the PHA on behalf of the participating family. The family then pays the difference between the actual rent charged by the landlord and the amount subsidized by the program.

Eligible families select their own rental units, and pay between 30-40% of their adjusted monthly income towards rent and utilities.

The Housing Choice Voucher Program works by limiting the amount of their income that low-income families pay toward rent. Voucher holders pay 30 percent of their income toward rent for an apartment on the private market. The federal government pays the rest of the rent directly to the landlord.

A family that is issued a housing voucher is responsible for finding a suitable housing unit of the family's choice where the owner agrees to rent under the program.The family then pays the difference between the actual rent charged by the landlord and the amount subsidized by the program.

PHAs generally own and manage public housing properties, and administer Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher programs. They may also own other types of affordable housing and administer other programs that help their residents, such as the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program.
