Housing Programs

Housing Programs

In December 2000, the U.S. Congress established the bipartisan Millennial Housing Commission to examine the importance of housing, particularly affordable housing, to America's infrastructure. The summary of the commission's report, released May 30, 2002, concluded, "the failure to achieve adequate housing leads to significant societal costs," and "there is simply not enough affordable housing."

We at HACSB are well aware of these issues: in fact, they are the reason for our presence in Santa Barbara County since 1941.

Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program

The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program allows low-income households (voucher holders) to pay approximately one-third of their income in rent and utilties to participating housing providers. The remainder of the rent is paid through federal subsidies to the housing providers by HACSB.

HACSB contracts with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to administer the Housing Choice Voucher Program for low-income families, the elderly and the disabled.

More information regarding the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program in Santa Barbara County can be found in the Tenant and Landlord Information pages.
