About your Unit

If you are looking for a new unit, the lists on the left are some of the landlords and units willing to participate in the rental assistance programs. Be aware that families are not restricted to the units on this list. You may also look for units on your own.  

If you are looking for a unit to accommodate the needs of a person with disabilities, the Housing Authority is committed to provide services and resources to help you.  The National Accessible Housing Clearing House and ForRent.com have information on accessible units.  The Housing Authority is neither affiliated with nor endorses the National Accessible Housing Clearing House or ForRent.com.

Your unit must pass inspection when we come out to look at it.  Use this Inspection Checklist to make sure it does.

If you are living in a house or apartment built before 1979 and you have children living with you under the age of 7, you should know about the hazards of lead-based paint.  *Presentation on Lead Paint     *HUD guide on Lead Paint

Program Rules - The rights and responsibilities for participants of the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher can be found in the Family Handbook.
