HOUSING AGENCY PROGRAM

The Section 8 Housing Voucher Program is a federal program that helps people with low income pay rent to a private landlord. While you have a lease between you and your landlord, you also have a contract with a housing agency (such as a housing authority). The housing agency pays part of your rent and “administers” the voucher.
If you want to or need to move, you can use the voucher to pay a new landlord. The voucher moves with you.
