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 126 income-based apartments here are not an option for it.

Frequently asked questions

How do I apply to Woodland Christian Tower?

Do I need a Section 8 voucher to live at Woodland Christian Tower?
No. This is Project-based Section 8: the assistance is attached to the apartment, not to the tenant, so it is there when you move in and stays behind when you move out. One apartment is not subsidized; ask the office whether a Housing Choice Voucher can be used there.
