HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHERS
Section 8 and CHA voucher holders are encouraged to apply for the full three-bedroom apartment. Vouchers cannot be applied to the single-room option — federal Housing Quality Standards require a voucher unit to be a complete, self-contained dwelling with its own kitchen and bathroom, and a shared-occupancy room does not meet that definition. Voucher applicants are welcome to apply for Option 1.
