Rental Assistance Program (Section 8)
The Section 8 program is a federally funded program that assists low income households obtain affordable, decent, safe, and sanitary housing. The assistance is in the form of a rental voucher which is issued to an eligible household. The program makes monthly housing assistance payments to the property owner who leases the rental unit to the assisted household.
The assistance payments make up the difference between what the household can afford and the approved rent for the unit. Assisted households must pay 30% of their adjusted income for rent. All units leased with Section 8 must meet federal housing quality standards and be inspected annually. The Housing Division currently assists approximately 600 families annually.
For general questions regarding the Section 8 Program feel free to call 323-563-9599 Monday - Thursday, 7 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. (City Hall closes Fridays).
