If you already have a housing voucher
A Housing Choice Voucher pays part of the rent in a privately owned apartment you find yourself. It cannot be used in an apartment that is already subsidized, so the 873 income-based apartments here are not an option for it. Browse landlords in Bronx who accept vouchers.
