The HCV program provides eligible families an opportunity to broaden their housing options in the private rental market. The Montgomery Housing Authority (MHA) administers over 3,000 HCV vouchers in Autauga, Elmore and Montgomery Counties. MHA also provides Project-Based rental assistance where the rental assistance is tied to a specific unit. In addition, MHA has several special purpose voucher programs including, Homeownership and Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH). Applicants to the HCV Program must meet a number of requirements detailed in the MHA HCV Administrative Plan. Waiting list information The Project-Based Voucher waiting list is currently open. Units under the Project-Based program are currently located at the Plaza at Centennial Hill, 505 Percy Drive, Montgomery, AL 36117. In order to apply for this program, you must submit an online application. To complete an online application, you must register first which requires you to have a valid email address.

Lawrence Street Montgomery, AL 36104 Email: portabilityrequest@mhatoday.org FRAUD ALERT HCV PROGRAM SCAM — STAY ALERTED In the past, landlords have been contacted by persons representing themselves as MHA employees. These culprits are requesting that you verify personal information such as your mailing address, phone number, credit card information and social security number. PLEASE DO NOT PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION. MHA does not request personal information over the telephone. The caller will also claim that the landlord is REQUIRED to purchase a “landlord manual/handbook” in order to participate in the HCV Program. This is false. We never request or need your credit card number or charge for any of our publications. The caller ID which appears on your phone shows “SECTION 8 OFFICE”. When you receive a legitimate call from MHA, “SECTION 8 OFFICE” does not appear. If you are in doubt, always contact MHA prior to divulging any information. Please call the Director of Assisted Housing Program immediately at 334-206-7185, or email at writeus@mhatoday.org. You may also contact ago.state.al.us for information on how to protect your identity.
