About This Program in Maryland
In Baltimore, the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program and public housing are administered by the Housing Authority of Baltimore City (HABC). Rent is income-based — generally about 30% of adjusted household income.
How to Apply in Maryland
Apply through HABC at habc.org when waitlists are open. Maryland protects renters from source-of-income discrimination statewide under the HOME Act, so most landlords cannot refuse a Housing Choice Voucher.
