The Section 8 Rental Assistance Program is designed to achieve three major objectives: 1. To provide affordable decent, safe and sanitary rental housing, of a modest (non-luxury) nature, for very low-income families. 2. To promote freedom of rental housing choice and spatial deconcentration of very low-income families of all racial and ethnic backgrounds. 3. To provide an incentive to private property owners to rent to very low-income families by offering timely assistance payments and annual inspections. Owner Outreach The PHA encourages owners of decent, safe, and sanitary rentaJ#ni.ts to rent to Section 8 participants. The PHA maintains an ongoing list of available rental units and p~~(¢Jiiting owners/property managers. The list is available in the lobby and is updated on a monthly basis. V~(fi~ijJi~tings from owners/property managers are received, they will be compiled by the PHA staff by bedriiijiif~Mf~m:I date of availability.

The PHA will publicize the availability of rental assistance for very low-income families in newspapers of general circulation, minority media, and by other suitable means. Notices will also be provided in Spanish. In addition, the PHA will distribute fact sheets to the broadcasting media, and initiate personal contact with members of the news media and community service agencies to utilize public service announcements. Liaisons have been established with a variety of city and county agencies, private social service agencies, non- profit agencies and special interest groups. The PHA will communicate the status of rental assistance availability to the service providers in the community, advising them of eligibility factors and guidelines so that they can make appropriate referrals.
