As a reliable organization, Wakefield Housing Authority manages various programs such as Low Rent Public Housing and the Housing Choice Voucher Program - Section 8. [Heading 2] Housing Assistance Programs Wakefield Housing Authority offers two main programs to assist low-income residents. These programs are income-based, meaning eligibility is determined by the guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The programs include: - Low Rent Public Housing: Wakefield Housing Authority provides affordable rental units to eligible low-income individuals and families through their Low Rent Public Housing program. - Housing Choice Voucher Program - Section 8: Wakefield Housing Authority also operates the Housing Choice Voucher Program, commonly known as Section 8. This program offers rental assistance vouchers to eligible households, allowing them to choose their own housing in the private rental market. [Heading 3] Eligibility and Waiting Lists Since these housing assistance programs are in high demand, there may be waiting lists for both rentals and vouchers.
