About This Program in Hartford
In Hartford, the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program and public housing are administered by the Housing Authority of the City of Hartford (HHA). Rent is income-based — generally about 30% of adjusted household income — whether in an HHA community or with a voucher used in private housing.
How to Apply in Hartford
Apply through HHA at hartfordhousing.org when waitlists are open. Connecticut protects renters from source-of-income discrimination statewide (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 46a-64c), so most landlords cannot refuse a Housing Choice Voucher or apply stricter income rules — renting a room in an owner-occupied home or a unit in an owner-occupied two-family building is exempt. Call HHA at (860) 723-8400.
