The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program (sometimes called “Section 8”) provides rental assistance to low-income families in the private rental market. Funded at the Federal level through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), rent subsidies (vouchers) allow families to pay a reasonable share of their income toward rent while the HCV program, within specific limits, makes up the difference.
