Section 8

Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program

The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program is a federally funded program in which the family pays no less than 30% of their monthly-adjusted income but no more than 40% of their monthly-adjusted income.

Currently, the Greenburgh Housing Authority's Section 8 HCV Program has 303 vouchers, of which we have 42% of the units occupied by elderly/disabled. Our payment standard is set at 110% over the Fair Market Rent (FMR) so the families in Greenburgh could have a broader range of apartments.

Although our jurisdiction covers a fairly large territory, the families on the Section 8 HCV Program, have the ability to "port" (move to anyplace in the U.S. or U.S. territories). We currently have over 2000 families on our waiting list and until further notice our waiting list is closed.
