Section 8 Rental Assistance Program

The Section 8 Program provides rental assistance to help eligible families live in safe and decent housing of their choice. The family pays a portion of the rent based on a percentage of their household adjusted income (typically 30%) and the remaining rent is paid by the housing agency.
