HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM
WE HAVE MOVED TO 153 NORTH FIFTH STREET, STEUBENVILLE, OH 43952
The Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCVP) recognizes that very low-income people do not have enough money to afford decent, safe, and good quality housing.
The program addresses this problem by providing a Housing Choice Voucher to assist the household with monthly housing costs.
This subsidy - which is based on the cost of moderately priced rental housing in the community - is provided by a Public Housing Agency (PHA) under a contract with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The HCVP household pays a portion of monthly housing costs that is based on the income of the household. The household's portion is usually - but not always - equal to 30 percent of its monthly adjusted income.
The family share of rent may not exceed 40% of the family's monthly adjusted income.
The HCVP Waiting List is OPEN
