ABOUT HCV

The Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP) (formerly known as the Section 8 Program) is a federally funded, locally administered rental assistance program that helps low-income families, the elderly and persons with disabilities afford safe, decent housing in the private market. Participants may choose any housing type that suits the needs of their family, as long as the requirements of the program are met.
