The program is open to low-income individuals without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender or status regarding public assistance. Rent is based on 30% of the household’s adjusted gross income. Program participants select a privately owned house, apartment, duplex or mobile home where the property owner is willing to accept voucher-assisted tenants. All assisted rental units must pass an inspection to ensure that subsidized housing is decent, safe, sanitary, and meets federally established Housing Quality Standards. The HRA administers this program to citizens residing in Dodge, Fillmore, Goodhue (excluding the City of Red Wing), Houston, Wabasha, and Winona Counties.

The housing opportunities are provided to all applicants in the form of an Online Packet. Every applicant will have indefinite access to their packet for the purpose of learning about government programs they may also apply for. Rental and Section 8 listings for every U.S. state are also included. The Online Packet has information to educate landlords about various government housing programs and how to become involved in them.

We also help Section 8 applicants find Section 8 listings after applying. In addition, we help our clients to discover many other programs that would benefit a low income person. We charge a small fee for our research which is consolidated in our Online Packet. We can not guarantee that your housing authority is accepting applications at this time, but we do update our Online Packet each week with this information. In order to become a Section 8 landlord, one must first have the necessary inspections by their Housing Authority and has been approved to rent to a Section 8 tenant. The Section 8 program produces renters in every state that need available apartments. The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program is a government subsidized housing assistance program for a low income family or individual. The tenant will pay about 30% of their monthly income for rent. Section 8 will pay for (subsidize) the rest.

Landlords must have their property inspected by a division of the Section 8 office in order to rent to a Section 8 tenant and accept the Section 8 housing voucher. The landlord will prepare their own lease, but it will be no less than for one year.

By urging section 8 landlords nationwide to participate in government rental assistance programs, and educating them about subsidized housing, the gap between a low income tenant and an independent landlord is being reduced. You can apply for Section 8 by completing a Section 8 application form when those applications are being accepted by your local Housing Authority. A person interested enought to become a Section 8 landlord can also benefit from our Online Packet.
