Housing Choice Voucher landlords are landlords who have agreed to participate in the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program, which is a federal program that provides rental assistance to low-income individuals and families. Under the program, landlords agree to rent their properties to voucher holders at a fair market rent, and the voucher holder pays a portion of the rent while the government pays the remainder. The program aims to increase affordable housing options for low-income individuals and families by incentivizing landlords to rent to voucher holders.
