About This Program in Los Angeles
In Los Angeles, the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) 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 — whether in a HACLA development or with a voucher used in private housing.
How to Apply in Los Angeles
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. Call HACLA at (213) 252-2500 for current waitlist status.
