What is the difference between Public Housing and the Housing Choice Voucher Program?

0

Public Housing is owned by the Housing Authority and the Authority manages the property it leases. The ACHA owns and manages apartments in Alexander City, Alabama which are leased to low-income people on an income-based rental rate or at a flat rental rate depending on what the resident chooses. Housing Choice Voucher housing is owned and managed by private landlords who list their property with a housing authority, who refer the prospective residents to their property. The housing authority subsidizes part of the resident’s rent to the landlord so the housing is affordable for the resident. • I have applied for the Housing Choice Voucher Program, can I apply for Public Housing too? Yes you may. You will need to fill out an application for Public Housing and will be placed on the waiting list at the Authority.
