RENTAL ASSISTANCE
Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) programs offer low-income individuals and families the opportunity to search for both a housing type and neighborhood of their choice. HCVs can be used at any qualifying privately owned property, including single-family homes, townhomes, and apartments.
HCV programs allow a greater level of mobility. Unlike Project-Based Vouchers (PBV), which are tied to a specific property, these vouchers are linked to the individual. This allows voucher holders to relocate to another unit within the area or even to a different region, provided a comparable HCV program is available.
All properties are regularly inspected for compliance with program standards.
Voucher programs also offer the benefit of services that provide support in seeking additional employment and educational opportunities.
KCDC's Housing Choice Voucher Program will accept online applications 8 a.m.-3 p.m. the second Wednesday of every month. Please apply online and applications will be processed by date and time received. For more information, click here.
