Qualified THA applicants and program participants are now able to use their Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers toward mortgages for their own homes. By working with the First Time Homeowners Center and local mortgage lenders, we have made it possible for families to move from rental housing to affordable homes.

The most common reasons for losing your Section 8 voucher are: Breaking any of the program's family obligations. ... Criminal activity or alcohol abuse. ... Violent criminal activity, Drug-related criminal activity, Not paying rent on time, Not keeping utilities like gas, electric, or water on in the unit,

The renter's share of the rent cannot exceed 30% of their (or their family's) adjusted monthly income, or 40% for those who are signing their first Section 8 contract.

A Housing Choice Voucher allows participating households (tenants) to rent housing that meets their needs. The tenant pays a portion of the rent directly to the landlord. OCHO pays the landlord the difference between the tenant's portion of the rent and the total rental amount.

Tenants who exceed the income limit may lose their eligibility for Section 8 housing and may be required to pay the full cost of rent. Staying within the income limits is crucial to maintaining Section 8 eligibility.

Housing choice vouchers are administered locally by public housing agencies (PHAs) that receive federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to administer the HCV program. This means that the tenant, landlord and PHA all have obligations and responsibilities under the HCV program.
