General information about the Housing Choice Voucher (formerly Section 8)
program is available on our Housing Choice
Voucher page.
As a participating HCV landlord, you can
register online to create an account with SHRA. After you select your
User ID and Password, you will use it to
log in to the rental
site and list your rental properties. You can add a rental unit by answering
a set of questions. The unit will be immediately viewable by anyone using this
website and will stay there for 2 weeks after the available date. If you need
them listed for a longer period, log in to your account and update the Available
Date.
Please note that any rent amounts listed are ONLY REQUESTED RENTS AND NOT
APPROVED RENTS. An approvable rent is based on the tenant’s income, payment
standard for the bedroom size they qualify for and the comparables in the area.
For example-- a 3bd in our area may be approved between $900-$1300 depending on
this information.
YOU CHOOSE THE TENANT and CHECK THEM OUT. You should ask to see their
authorization to search and their voucher. The authorization to search will tell
you what bedroom size they will qualify for and an estimated maximum rent
amount. The voucher will tell you the bedroom size finally approved and the
soonest we can start a contract for them (listed as effective or start date of
the voucher).
If the person you choose to be your tenant is on our program they will have a
request for Tenancy Approval (RFTA) which you will fill out and turn into HCV
(formerly called Section 8) along with a grant deed, W9, and a management
agreement if you have an agent.) Do not leave anything blank on the RFTA
(exception would be the agent area if you have no agent). Once all documents
are approved and verified an inspection will be scheduled. It is important that
you list a phone number on the RFTA where you can be reached during the day, so
the inspection can be scheduled.
