Housing Choice Voucher Program
A voucher provides rental assistance and allows recipients to locate and rent a house, duplex, apartment or mobile home on their own, as long as the dwelling meets the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's housing guidelines. Vouchers are available throughout Kentucky. Local housing authorities administer the Section 8 program in some areas and you must apply to them. For counties administered by the Kentucky Housing Corporation, you can apply on-line to the Section 8 Rental Assistance Program.
