The programs provide subsidy payments to property owners on behalf of program participants. Demand for the subsidy program exceeds the available supply of funds and there is an extensive waiting list. Since this program involves several processing procedures both before and after being placed on a waiting list, interested families are encouraged to inquire at their local Section 8 Field Agency. The Project Based Section 8 agency is the contract administrator for properties that HUD manages throughout the state. They provide rental assistance to the projects instead of the tenants.
Landlords perform administrative tasks at the local level.
The agency will do the property reviews, property management, and make payments to owners. The agency earns fees from HUD for the tasks performed using tenant data and rent and payment structure. The Project Based Program renews contracts as they expire. Landlords are eligible to file damage claims if a tenant damages a rental unit. View Section 8 Field Agency Map .
