Section 8
Housing Choice Voucher Program
Program Manager: Tina Renfroe
The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program is a rental subsidy program in the
private sector. When Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) are available, those at the
top of the list will be called in for a Full Application Meeting. At this time,
all information will be verified. If you are eligible, a briefing to explain
the HCV program will be held and a voucher will be issued. You will then have
sixty (60) days to find a privately owned rental unit within the guidelines of
the HCV program. The maximum housing assistance is determined by the Payment
Standard in effect at that time. The unit will also need to be inspected and
must pass Housing Quality Standards. The tenant will be responsible for paying
their portion of the rent, as determined by the Program Manager, directly to
the landlord. GMHA will also pay their portion directly to the landlord.
****The Section 8 HCV Waiting List is closed.****

Family Self-Sufficiency program to assist families seeking new or better
