Housing choice vouchers allow very low-income families to choose and lease or purchase safe, decent, and affordable privately-owned rental housing.
Section 8 is a rent assistance program funded by the Federal government through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Eligible households pay approximately 30% of their adjusted gross income toward rent. The remainder is provided by the program and paid directly to the landlord. In 1998, the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program was created to replace the Certificate Program, maximizing participants' opportunities to find eligible housing. Eligibility There are 2 requirements, established by HUD, that must be met before an applicant is eligible for assistance under Section 8: The applicant's household must qualify as a "family" and must meet the annual income guidelines. Preference is given to families that live and/or work in Arlington. Each year, 75% of the new families admitted into the program must fall at or below the extremely low income level. The remaining 25% must fall at or below the very low income level.
