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 204 income-based apartments here are not an option for it. Browse landlords in Washington who accept vouchers or see Section 8 rent limits and housing authorities in District of Columbia.

Frequently asked questions

How do I apply to Capitol Hill Towers?
Apply to the property, not to the housing authority. Call the office at (202) 543-1890 and ask whether the waiting list is open and how to get an application. Capitol Hill Towers keeps its own waiting list, separate from the Section 8 voucher list. Expect to show ID, Social Security numbers and proof of income for everyone in the household.
What is the income limit for Capitol Hill Towers?
Household income usually has to be at or below the very low income limit (50% of the area median).

Your own share is calculated from your household's income when you move in and again each year.
Do I need a Section 8 voucher to live at Capitol Hill Towers?
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. A Housing Choice Voucher cannot be combined with an apartment that already has project-based assistance.
