About This Program in California

In Los Angeles, the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program and public housing are administered by the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA). Rent is income-based — generally about 30% of adjusted household income.

How to Apply in California

Apply through HACLA at hacla.org when waitlists are open; openings are often filled by lottery. California protects renters from source-of-income discrimination statewide (SB 329), so most landlords cannot refuse a Housing Choice Voucher.
