SAHA’s mission is to provide quality affordable housing that is well integrated into the fabric of neighborhoods and serves as a foundation to improve lives and advance resident independence.
The Assisted Housing Programs include the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program, also known as the Section 8 program, and the Special Programs which target specific groups such as homeless persons or persons with disabilities.
The HCV Program provides eligible low-income individuals and families with the ability to afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market. Participants are free to choose housing from single-family homes, townhouses, and apartments, as long as the units meet the requirements of the program. This freedom of choice offers participants a chance for a better quality of life by providing them with access to better job opportunities, schools, transportation, and other services. The HCV Program administers 13,417 rental vouchers.
The HCV Program sets aside a determined number of vouchers for targeted groups such as the homeless, homeless veterans, and persons with disabilities.
