1. Housing Choice Voucher Program (previously known as Section 8)
The Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCV) assists very low-income families
in renting decent, safe and sanitary rental units available on the open
market. The families pay a portion of their income toward rent and the
Housing Authority, with funds from the US Department of Housing and Urban
Development, pays the remainder. The rental unit must pass regular
inspections and the rental amount must be approved, but the family chooses
where to live.
This waiting list was open from September 25 to September 29, 2006 and is
now closed.
2. Public Housing
This housing is owned and managed by the Housing Authority. The family
pays a portion of their income to rent. The family’s rent is affordable as
long as the family remains in the unit. Public housing units are located
throughout the City and County of Sacramento and may consist of apartments,
duplexes, or single-family homes.
This waiting list was open from January 22 to February 2, 2007 and is now
closed.
3. Affordable Housing Options
This housing is owned by private or public owners. The family pays a
portion of their income toward rent and the Housing Authority pays a
portion. In most cases, the family receives assistance only as long as they
are living in the unit—the assistance is not transferable to another unit.
Some of the sites provide supportive services and families must participate
in services in order to live there.
This waiting list will open for current HCV applicants on June 1, 2007
and for everyone on June 11, 2007. For more information, go to
