Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program is the federal government’s major program for helping income-eligible participants afford safe, healthy homes in their community. The Housing Choice Voucher Program allows the individual or family to choose a home, including their present home, and use a voucher to obtain rental assistance. The landlord must agree to the terms of the program and the home must meet safety requirements. The landlord receives a housing subsidy directly from Rhode Island Housing, on behalf of the participating family. The family then pays the difference between the rent charged by the landlord and the amount subsidized by the program. Section 8 Subsidized Apartments While there may be a lengthy waiting list for most of these homes, you may want to contact the public housing authority in the community in which you wish to reside to get your name on the waiting list or to obtain more information. You may also want to contact the managers of these homes for rent that were created with assistance from Rhode Island Housing to help provide safe and healthy homes that Rhode Islanders can afford.
