NEED HELP PAYING RENT?

OHFA offers two rental assistance programs that assist low-income families in paying their rent. Read more about Housing Choice Voucher and Performance Based Contract Administration.

RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

OHFA offers two programs that make renting more affordable.

HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM

Participating households may live anywhere they choose. The property owner must agree to accept the voucher. The unit must pass a Housing Quality Standards inspection. Your rental assistance will stay with you even if you move to a different property.

PERFORMANCE BASED CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION

Residents apply to live in these apartments by contacting the property management offices directly. Each property may have different selection criteria. If you choose to move from the property, you will need to apply for rental assistance elsewhere.
