Housing Assistance Programs for Low-Income Residents The commission manages two primary programs to assist low-income residents in obtaining suitable housing: Low Rent Public Housing and the Housing Choice Voucher Program - Section 8. These programs are specifically designed to cater to individuals and families in need of affordable housing options. Low Rent Public Housing Through the Low Rent Public Housing program, the commission provides rental assistance to eligible low-income residents. The program offers affordable and decent housing options within the community, ensuring that individuals and families have a safe and comfortable place to call home. Housing Choice Voucher Program - Section 8 The Housing Choice Voucher Program, commonly known as Section 8, is another initiative managed by the Bath Charter Township Housing Commission. This program allows eligible individuals and families to receive assistance in paying their rent. The commission partners with private landlords to provide housing options to voucher holders, offering flexibility in housing choices. Income-Based Eligibility Guidelines Both the Low Rent Public Housing and the Housing Choice Voucher Program - Section 8 have income-based eligibility guidelines that applicants must meet. These guidelines are set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to ensure that assistance is provided to those who truly need it. Waiting Lists and Application Procedure Due to the high demand for affordable housing assistance, there may be waiting lists for rentals or vouchers. The length of the wait and availability of the lists are subject to change based on the number of applicants and the size of the lists.
