About This Program in Rochester
In Rochester, the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program and public housing are administered by the Rochester Housing Authority (RHA). Rent is income-based — generally about 30% of adjusted household income — whether in an RHA community or with a voucher used in private housing.
How to Apply in Rochester
Apply through RHA at rochesterhousing.org when waitlists are open, or in person at 270 Lake Avenue; the 24-hour status line is (585) 697-7574. New York protects renters from source-of-income discrimination statewide (Human Rights Law, Executive Law §§ 292, 296, amended 2019), so most landlords cannot refuse a Housing Choice Voucher. Call RHA at (585) 697-7180.
