The Section 8 program allows property owners to rent to participating tenants. As a landlord in this program, you may request that your checks be deposited directly to your bank account. If you would like an application for direct deposit, click here. HCD maintains a list of available units for participants to review when searching for a unit. If you are interested in listing a rental unit, please complete an online Vacancy form. All units must pass a Housing Quality Standards inspection before the subsidy can start. Click here to see an inspection checklist. For detailed information on inspection standards, review "A Good Place to Live" published by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
HCD strives to reduce housing discrimination in all areas of housing. As a landlord, it is important for you to know about this program. You may find more information about housing and discrimination by clicking on Fair Housing Program.
HCD is committed to provide services to accommodate the needs of persons with disabilities, including information on the availability of accessible units. If landlords have accessible rental units, they should consider listing their units with the HCD, ForRent.com and the National Accessible Housing Clearing House. HCD is neither affiliated with, nor endorses the National Accessible Housing Clearing House or ForRent.com. These agencies may have a fee to list units.
If you suspect a Section 8 participant is violating any program rules, you may submit a Community Complaint. You may also call our Program Review staff at (858) 694-4832 to discuss the suspected fraud or send an email to Kathee.Happer@sdcounty.ca.gov. All information will be kept confidential.
