A housing subsidy is paid to the landlord/owner directly by SNRHA
via direct deposit on behalf of the participating family. The family
then pays the difference between the actual rent charged by the landlord
and the amount subsidized by the program.
Eligibility:
Eligibility for a housing voucher is determined by SNRHA based on
the total annual gross income and family size. Participation in this
program is limited to US citizens and specified categories of non-citizens
who have eligible immigration status as defined by HUD. In general, the
family's income may not exceed 50% of the median income for the county
or metropolitan area in which the family chooses to live. By law, SNRHA must provide 75 percent of its
vouchers to applicants whose incomes
do not exceed 30 percent of the area median income (Federal extremely-low
category). Median income levels are published by HUD and vary by location.
See SNRHA income limits
You can check for availability by visiting the Current Waitlist Statuses and Applications
Section on our How To Apply web page.
The Payment Standards are the maximum amount of subsidy that the Housing
Authority is allowed to pay on behalf of our clients for rental assistance
according to their bedroom size. It is based on the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development's (HUD) Fair Market Rent Study. The income limits
are HUD's established limits for initial income eligibility. Extremely-low
and low-income is for Section 8 –Housing Choice Voucher Program. Low-income
is for Public Housing. Income limits are established by the number of
family members in the household at the time of admission into the program
for which they have applied. See SNRHA
income limits.
