Voucher Issuance & Housing Search

GHA will issue a HCV to the families who have been determined eligible to participate in the program. Families can select housing anywhere, but are encouraged to choose units in areas of low poverty and where there are high functioning schools and where access to employment and transportation is good. When the family finds a unit that the owner is willing to lease under the program, the family will submit the HUD-required tenancy addendum, the completed Request for Tenancy Approval (RFTA) form and an unsigned landlord lease. GHA will process the form to determine if the unit selected is affordable and contact the property owner to schedule a Housing Quality Standards inspection.
