Voucher Section 8 Program
HUD Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) Rental Assistance Program is the federal government's major program for assisting very low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled to rent decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market.
This program is financed through federal funds received from the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and is available to anyone living in
or wishing to live in Dodge County that meets the program requirements.
The Voucher provides subsidy paid directly to the landlord and allows the participant
to choose any housing in the private market including duplexes, mobile homes,
apartments, townhouses and single family homes as long as the property meets
program requirements and housing quality standards.
If you are already living in a suitable residence, but are paying more than
30% of your adjusted income for rent, you may be able to stay where you are
living and pay less... OR ...you may decide to move into different housing and
receive rental assistance at that location.
Households must not exceed the following income limits to be eligible for the
program.
The numbers shown below represent total gross household income including gross
wages, child support received, unemployment compensation, Social Security, SSI,
