HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM
The federally funded Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8), is voluntary for both landlords and tenants. It helps eligible families of lower income with their monthly rent payments.
How it works:
A family whose household income is fifty percent or less of the area's medium household income (AMI) is qualified to participate in the program from the Longmont Housing Authority. Through a Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contract, directly monthly payments are made to the landlord/property owner as a portion of the tenant's monthly rent payment. After allowances are made for utilities not included in the rent, the HAP makes up the difference in total amount due.
Example:
If thirty percent of a family's gross monthly income is $600.00, and rent (including utilities) for the selected apartment is $1,600.00 per month, the tenant pays the landlord $600.00 and the remaining $1,000.00 is paid to the landlord by the Longmont Housing Authority through the Housing Choice Voucher Program.
