About This Program in Baltimore
In Baltimore, the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) 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 — whether in an HABC development or with a voucher used in private housing.
How to Apply in Baltimore
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. Call HABC at (410) 396-3232 for current waitlist status.
