Section 8 House For Rent in Chicago Heights, Illinois

The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program provides housing assistance, in the form of Section 8 vouchers, to low-income families. The Section 8 vouchers are used to help the family pay for housing. Local public housing agencies (PHA) administer vouchers based on household income and family size and recipients are free to choose any housing that meets program requirements.

How does one qualify for Section 8?

2. Be in need of decent, safe, and/or sanitary housing.
