What is Section 8?

According to the NYC Housing Authority website, under the Section 8 tab:

Created by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1978, the Housing Choice Voucher program, also known as Section 8, provides assistance to eligible low- and moderate-income families to rent housing in the private market. Eligibility for this program is based on a family’s gross annual income and family size.

The program works as a rental subsidy that allows families to pay a reasonable amount of their income toward their rent. Eligible families will receive a voucher to begin searching for housing. Generally, families with tenant-based Section 8 typically pay 30 percent of their adjusted monthly income towards their rent share. NYCHA pays the remaining amount to the owner on the family’s behalf. This payment to the owner is known as the Housing Assistance Payment.

Section 8 participants must comply with all program requirements, including completing their annual certification, accommodating inspections, allowing property owners to make any needed repairs, and adhering to the terms of their lease.

NYCHA administers the largest Section 8 program in the country. Approximately 107,979 Section 8 vouchers and over 26,933 owners currently participate in the program.
