What is voucher housing?

Voucher housing refers to rental apartments where landlords accept government-issued housing vouchers as partial or full payment for rent. These vouchers — including Section 8 (Housing Choice Voucher), CityFHEPS, FHEPS, HASA, EDEN, and others — help low-income families, seniors, and individuals with disabilities afford safe, stable housing in the private market.

How vouchers work across the US

The federal Section 8 program is administered locally by Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) in every state. Tenants typically pay 30% of their income toward rent, while the voucher covers the rest up to a payment standard. Some cities and states have additional programs — like CityFHEPS and FHEPS in New York City, or EDEN vouchers in certain jurisdictions — that serve specific populations or supplement federal assistance.

Source-of-income protections by state

Many states and cities have laws prohibiting landlords from discriminating against tenants based on their source of income, including housing vouchers. These protections vary by jurisdiction — some cover all voucher types, while others are more limited. If a landlord refuses to rent to you solely because you have a voucher, you may have legal recourse. Learn more in our guides.
