Section 8 Rental Voucher Program

The Assumption Parish Section 8 Rental Voucher Program is administered by Roberto Macedo and Associates (See sidebar for contact information).  This program increases affordable housing choices for very low-income households by allowing families to choose privately owned rental housing.

Public Housing Authority

The Public Housing Authority (PHA) generally pays the landlord the difference between 30 percent of household income and the PHA-determined payment standard; about 80 to 100 percent of the fair market rent (FMR).

Reasonable Rent

The rent must be reasonable. The household may choose a unit with a higher rent than the FMR and pay the landlord the difference or choose a lower cost unit and keep the difference.
