SECTION
8 PROGRAM
The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program is authorized under Section
8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937 and amended by the Quality
Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998. The purpose of the program
is to provide rental assistance to very low-income families and individuals
to enable them to rent decent, safe and affordable housing. Very low income
persons and/or families are defined as having incomes at or below 50 percent
of the area median income as established by the Department of Housing
and Urban development. The Section 8 Voucher Program is available throughout
the United States and is administered by public housing authorities. In
Sonoma County, excluding the incorporated city of Santa Rosa, this program
is operated by the Sonoma County Housing Authority.
