About This Program in New York
In New York City, the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program is administered by NYCHA, HPD, and HCR, and NYCHA operates the city's public housing. Rent is income-based — generally about 30% of adjusted household income.
How to Apply in New York
Apply through the NYCHA Self-Service Portal at selfserve.nycha.info when waitlists are open. New York City law protects renters from source-of-income discrimination, so most landlords cannot refuse a Housing Choice Voucher.
