Dedicated

Section 8 vouchers and affordable apartments. Click here
for a list of Montana Housing Authorities.
Section 8 Housing
Vouchers
Financed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development and
administered by the Montana Housing Division. Section 8 Housing Vouchers
allow very low income
families to pay a set amount towards rent and utilities, based on their
gross adjusted income (currently 30%). Very low income families have
incomes of 50 percent or less of the HUD median family income for the
county in which the family resides, established by HUD annually. Income
Limits can be found in the Section
8 Documents of this site. The programs provide subsidy payments to
property owners on behalf of program participants.
Demand for the subsidy program exceeds the available supply of funds
and there is an extensive waiting list. Since this program involves
several processing procedures both before and after being placed on a
waiting list, interested families are encouraged to inquire at their
local Section 8 Field
Agency. Go to Section
8 Documents for more information about these programs.
