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 381 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.
