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
The Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment
Agency owns and manages more than 3,000 public housing units within the City
and County of Sacramento. These housing units consist of a variety of
apartments, duplexes and single family homes. A criminal background and
landlord reference check is required prior to admission into the program.
This wait list opened on Monday, January 25, 2010 at 12:01
am (midnight).

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.
