Housing Choice Voucher Program
FAMILIES LOOKING FOR HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER ASSISTANCE (SECTION 8):
Watch out for scams! Reportedly, there are internet sites claiming to be application sites for voucher assistance. These websites are taking fees and personal information from people and claiming to put them on waiting lists. These websites are bogus! The only way you can apply for voucher assistance is directly though a local housing authority.
Responsibilities
The City of Wichita Falls Housing Choice Voucher Program (formerly Section 8) has programs for low-income households to help them pay their rent. A portion of the rent is paid directly to the landlord on behalf of the families.
How to Qualify
In order to qualify for our program you must place your name on our waiting list and meet HUD income eligibility requirements. The wait may be up to 24 months, depending on our funding levels. Unfortunately, we do not have emergency assistance available. We accept applications on any Tuesday between the hours of 8:00 am - 5:00 pm in room 301 of the Memorial Auditorium, 1300 7th St.
