Section 8 Rental Assistance Program
The Section 8 Rental Assistance Program was established by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. This program, funded by HUD, provides rental subsidies to up to 170 low-income families who live in privately-owned housing units throughout Douglas County.
Families pay approximately 30% of their income for housing and utilities. The Superior Housing Authority pays the difference between the fair market rent and the amount contributed by the family as a subsidy.
The Section 8 Program is a partnership between private landlords, low-income families, and the Housing Authority. We recognize that it takes all three parties working together to make this program a success, and appreciate the landlord's contribution to this effort.
