 <br>Housing Choice Voucher (typically called Section 8)<br>
 <br>- The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program helps low-income families, the senior, and the disabled to pay for decent, safe and hygienic housing in the private market. Housing assistance is offered through HUD on behalf of the family or person, so individuals can discover their own housing. You can utilize an HCV to spend for all or part of the rent.
 <br>Eligibility: Public Housing is restricted to low-income households and people. A Public Housing Authority figures out eligibility based on 1) annual gross earnings, 2) whether you qualify as senior, an individual with specials needs or as a household, and 3) U.S. citizenship or qualified migration status.
 <br>To use, contact your regional Public Housing Authority. During the application procedure, a Public Housing Authority will collect details on household earnings, possessions and family structure. The General Public Housing Authority will utilize this information to identify program eligibility and the quantity of the housing assistance payment.
