Owner FAQs

You are not required to make your property available to Section 8. If this is an option you want to pursue please let us know and we can advertise it accordingly. The federally funded Section 8 Program provides for rental subsidies to be paid directly to landlords on behalf of income eligible families and primarily elderly, disabled or handicapped individuals. The subsidy is "invisible" so that households receiving assistance are not identified and can remain anonymous within the community. Landlords are also assured of regular payments from the Section 8 program on behalf of the tenant.
