Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program
As funds become available, the next applicant on the waiting list is contacted and after the applicant is certified eligible for the program, a Housing Choice Voucher is issued. The voucher holder is responsible for locating their own housing and must meet the program's guidelines to receive assistance. The unit must be inspected and meet HUD's Housing Quality Standards. There is a maximum amount of rent subsidy that will paid on behalf of the tenant each month. It is the tenant's responsibility to pay the difference between the subsidy amount and the contract rent.
Waiting List Information
All new applicants must fill out the Aberdeen Housing Authority's application. After the entire application is filled out and the proper information is turned in, the new applicant is placed on the chosen program's waiting list. This is a first come, first serve basis depending on individual qualifications. The applicant will be mailed a letter stating that they have reached the top of the waiting list when his or her turn has arrived. All waiting lists vary and the AHA can not predict how long it will be before a unit or funding is available.
With the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program the approximate waiting list time is 4-6 months.
