Through the management of various programs such as Low Rent Public Housing and the Housing Choice Voucher Program - Section 8, eligible individuals and families can receive the support they need. Low Rent Public Housing Program The Low Rent Public Housing Program is one avenue through which the Lumberton Housing Authority assists low income residents. This program is specifically designed to offer affordable housing options to those who meet the income-based requirements set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Housing Choice Voucher Program - Section 8 Another program provided by the Lumberton Housing Authority is the Housing Choice Voucher Program, commonly known as Section 8. This program allows eligible individuals and families to receive rental assistance in the form of vouchers. The amount of assistance is based on their income and helps them secure housing in the private rental market. Eligibility Guidelines and Waiting Lists To ensure fair allocation of resources, the eligibility guidelines for both the Low Rent Public Housing Program and the Housing Choice Voucher Program are determined by HUD. These guidelines consider factors such as income level and family size. Due to the high demand for housing assistance, there may be waiting lists for both rentals and vouchers. The length of the waiting lists varies based on the number of applicants and available resources. At times, these lists may temporarily close to new applicants until the existing demand can be met. Contacting the Housing Authority for More Information If you are in need of housing assistance in the Lumberton area, we encourage you to reach out to the Lumberton Housing Authority directly. Their knowledgeable staff can provide you with more information about the eligibility requirements, availability of rentals or vouchers, the status of any waiting lists, and the application procedures.
