What additional housing resources (external to HUD) are available to me?
  • Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Properties
    A tax credit property is owned by a developer or landlord who participates in the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program run by the Arizona Department of Housing (AZDOH). These owners can claim tax credits for renting some or all units to low- or moderate- income tenants at restricted rent. LIHTC rents are not based on tenant's income but instead set by the use restriction tied to the unit. Note: LIHTC owners accept Section 8 voucher tenants.

    To be eligible for an affordable unit in a LIHTC property, you must make no more than the income limit for that unit. LIHTC rents are not based on your income, but instead is set by the use restrictions tied to the unit.
    To get further information on LIHTC properties, contact the Arizona Department of Housing for more information, dial (602) 771-1000.
  • USDA Rural Development Multifamily Housing

I need rental assistance (i.e. Section 8) from HUD, am I eligible and how do I apply?

HUD has rental assistance and housing resources through the Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher programs.

Public Housing

  • Public Housing provides decent and safe rental housing for eligible low-income families, the elderly and persons with disabilities. HUD provides federal aid to local Public Housing Authorities (PHA) that manage public housing for low-income residents at rents they can afford.
  • Eligibility: Public Housing is limited to low-income families and individuals. A Public Housing Authority determines eligibility based on 1) annual gross income, 2) whether you qualify as elderly, a person with disabilities or as a family, and 3) U.S. citizenship or eligible immigration status.
  • To apply, contact your local Public Housing Authority.

Housing Choice Voucher (commonly known as Section 8)

  • The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program assists low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled to afford decent, safe and sanitary housing in the private market. Housing assistance is provided through HUD on behalf of the family or individual, so participants can find their own housing. You can use an HCV to pay for all or part of the rent.
  • Eligibility: A Public Housing Authority will determine eligibility for the housing choice voucher program based on the total annual gross income and family size, U.S. citizenship and specified categories of non-citizens who have eligible immigration status.
  • To apply, contact your local Public Housing Authority. During the application process, a Public Housing Authority will collect information on family income, assets and family composition. The Public Housing Authority will use this information to determine program eligibility and the amount of the housing assistance payment.
