PMHA provides a rental assistance program commonly called Section 8, referring to the section of housing law which created it. Section 8 helps people with a portion of their rent to private landlords in Scioto and Lawrence Counties in Ohio.
To be eligible for a Section 8 Certificate or Voucher you must first meet strict HUD income guidelines that change periodically.
If you are eligible for a certificate you will not pay more than 30% of your annual income for rent. If you are eligible for a voucher you can pay more than 30% of your annual income if you choose to do so.
Your landlord must sign a contract with Portsmouth Metropolitan Housing Authority and the rental property must pass HUD's Housing Quality Standards Guidelines.
PMHA will assist potential renters with a list of qualified landlords.
Section 8 is one of PMHA's most popular programs. Get your name on our wait list now for future housing.
