Home Section 8 HCV Program Public Housing CHIP Program FSS Program Applicant Login Resident Login Landlord Login Careers What is the Difference between Public Housing and Section 8 (Housing Choice Voucher Program)? The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program allows you to choose your own rental unit anywhere in Wayne, Holmes and Ashland county region. The landlord must agree to be a participant in the program and sign a contract with the Housing Authority. The rental unit must then pass a Housing Authority inspection, and the Housing Authority must approve the rent charged by the landlord as a reasonable rent. There are two types of Section 8 assistance available through WMHA – tenant-based and project-based. A tenant-based Section 8 Housing Choice voucher can be transferred from one rental unit to another if the tenant chooses to move and follows the proper procedures outlined by the Housing Authority. A project-based Section 8 voucher is linked to a specific housing project (development?) and remains with the project (development?) rather than transferring with a tenant who chooses to move outside of the project. Under the public housing program, WMHA is the owner/landlord of the property. Public housing units are available for rent at below the market rate, based on your income level. Section 8 (Housing Choice) vouchers cannot be used for public housing units.
