The Housing Choice Voucher Program (formerly Section 8) provides tenant-based assistance, in the form of a voucher, to low-income families, seniors and persons with disabilities for rental units chosen by the tenant in the private market. The Housing Authority provides payments directly to participating property owners to offset the cost difference between tenant payments and unit rent. Residents in HHA Public Housing communities may also be eligible for voucher assistance through the HHA Family Self-Sufficiency Program.

Voucher Program (formerly known as Section 8) is a program from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It helps pay for rental housing for low-income families and for people who are elderly or who have a disability.

Program applicants choose from a variety of housing options, ranging from apartments, duplexes, single-family homes to townhomes. Tenants can find available units by visiting Socialserve and MyApartmentMap.

In order to assist you with your housing decision, we have provided a link to the City of Houston Super Neighborhood page. There you can find information regarding demographics, land use and other useful information to help you make the best choice possible for you and your family. Below is a map that shows where each neighborhood is located. Click here to learn more about super neighborhoods and to view the recognized list of super neighborhoods.

Families with vouchers generally pay between 30 to 40 percent of their annual income for rent. Rent must be reasonable compared with similar unassisted units in the area, and the property must meet HUD's Section 8 Housing Quality Standards. All Section 8 program rules and policies can be found in the Administrative Plan.

Current participants in the Housing Choice Voucher and Public Housing Program may choose to participate in the Housing Authority's Family Self Sufficiency Program, which offers employment and other case-managed services designed to promote economic self-sufficiency.

Services offered through the FSS Program may range from job training to child-care and transportation assistance. FSS participants may also take advantage of homeownership counseling, including the establishment of a family escrow account.
