This program is income-based and follows eligibility guidelines established by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

This program provides rental vouchers to eligible individuals or families, allowing them to seek housing in the private market.

These guidelines are determined by HUD and ensure that assistance goes to those who need it the most. Please note that due to the high demand for housing assistance, there may be waiting lists for both rentals and vouchers. At times, these lists may even close to new applicants based on their size and the length of the wait.
