  • Housing Choice Voucher (Tenants)

    Home How We Can Help Housing Choice Voucher (Tenants) Opportunities to receive rental assistance Details About Housing Choice Voucher Program for Tenants The Housing Choice Voucher program (often referred to as Section 8) assists low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled to afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market. The participant is free to choose any housing that meets the requirements of the program, including single-family homes, townhouses, and apartments, and is not limited to units located in subsidized housing projects. Once the tenant and landlord sign a lease, the tenant's family typically contributes 30%-40% of their income towards rent and utilities, and the HCV program pays the remainder directly to the landlord. CDLI is the Local Administrator for the New York State Homes & Community Renewal (HCR) Housing Choice Voucher program for Nassau and Suffolk Counties, the Town of Hempstead, the Village of Sea Cliff, and select project-based voucher buildings in Brooklyn. For all programs, CDLI oversees tenant eligibility, lease-up, annual recertification, and Housing Quality Standards inspections of all units.
