Affordable Housing Alternatives

SCRHA has a variety of housing opportunities available depending on a family's or individual's need.

We provide two types of rental housing assistance programs: Public Housing Program & Housing Choice Voucher Program.

Public Housing: SCRHA operates 111 public housing units. Approved participants are selected from the waiting list for the next apartment according to the current family composition, sign a dwelling lease with SCRHA and pay 30% of their adjusted gross income for rent.
Housing Choice Voucher: In the HCV program SCRHA provides rental assistance payments for participants who live in privately owned rental properties. Participants will sign an HCV participant agreement with SCRHA and will sign a lease with the owner of the private property. Participants pay 30% of their adjusted gross income for rent.

PLEASE NOTE:

Annual and Interim Rent Recertification

Annual Recertification:

Each year, tenants must recertify that their information is correct, including their income and family composition. Annual recertifications are required by law. If you do not complete your annual recertification, or if you falsify information during this process, SCRHA may terminate your assistance.

Interim Recertification:

If you have a change in income or family composition, it's important to report this. These changes can affect the rent that you pay as well as the unit size for which you qualify. To report your changes, please contact your Property Manager or caseworker.
