We administer the Section 8 low income subsidized rental assistance program, funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development . Simply locate the staff person that you would like to send an e-mail to and click on the blue underlined name of that individual. If you are a citizen with a request for service, please be sure to include your name, a complete mailing address, and a contact phone number including area code with your message. Section 8 is a rental assistance program in which the subsidy amount is based upon the household's gross income. Families must be income eligible based upon HUD's income guidelines based on family size.
Staff provides case management in certifying and recertifying tenants.
Approve units and leases assuring Housing assistance payments to owners or landlords and monitor program performance and compliance with Federal and local laws. The Section 8 program is not accepting applications at this time. The city has a limited number of vouchers which made it necessary to close the waiting list. It is anticipated that the waiting list will be reopened early 2001 when there may be a need for more applicants to utilize the available vouchers. The program is administrated in the Section 8 offices at 7522 E. 1st Street in downtown Scottsdale.
