What is the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program?
(click here to view video)
SAHA’s Housing Choice Voucher Program offers the opportunity for low-income families to choose affordable rental housing within Bexar County. Freedom of choice enables the family to obtain affordable housing outside areas of high poverty concentration. It also offers participants a chance for a better quality of life by providing access to greater employment opportunities, access to better schools and after-school programs. Information on the assisted housing programs can be provided through Landlords@saha.org or through tenant/landlord media such as SAHA’s landlord newsletter, “The Proprietor” or SAHA’s client newsletter, “Our Neighbors.”
