🌟 HCV Homeownership Program

Dreaming of owning your own home?

The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Homeownership Program makes it possible! This program allows eligible HCV (Section 8) participants to use their voucher assistance to cover monthly homeownership expenses. Instead of helping pay rent to a landlord, your subsidy can go directly toward a mortgage—helping you build equity and stability for the future.

💡 Who Can Join?

Initial eligibility qualifications:

• ✅ Be a participant in the HCV Program for at least one year and in good standing with PCHA
  (All port-ins must rent with PCHA for at least one year before applying.)

• ✅ Be a first-time homebuyer (no home ownership interest in the last 3 years)

• ✅ Meet income requirements:

  • Elderly or Disabled Households

    • Head of household must be elderly or disabled

    • Must receive at least the minimum monthly SSI benefit
      (Benefits for children or spouses do not count)

  • Non-Elderly/Non-Disabled Households

    • Must be employed full-time (32+ hours/week)

    • Must have worked at the same job for 12 consecutive months at minimum wage or higher
