Voucher-Friendly Buildings in Missouri
About This Program in Missouri
In Kansas City, the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program and public housing are administered by the Housing Authority of Kansas City, Missouri (HAKC). Rent is income-based — generally about 30% of adjusted household income — whether in an HAKC community or with a voucher used in private housing.
How to Apply in Missouri
Apply through HAKC at hakc.org when a waitlist is open, or in person at 3822 Summit Street; HAKC runs separate public housing, Project-Based Voucher, and Housing Choice Voucher lists and the HCV list has recently been closed. Important: a 2025 Missouri law (HB 595) nullified Kansas City''s local source-of-income ordinance and allows landlords to decline vouchers, so a landlord may now legally refuse yours. Federal Fair Housing protections still apply. Call (816) 968-4100.
