CHANGE 35 7;40 A . 7 i. 1 EXHIBIT -i What is the Section 8 Program? The Section 8 Housing Assistance Program is a United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Program that is Federally funded and administered through City or County Housing Authorities. The rental units are not owned by the government. The program only assists with rent payments making it possible for low-income families, senior citizens, and disabled individuals to obtain adequate rental housing. The program has two categories: Section 8 Certificates and Section 8 Vouchers. What is the difference between Section 8 Certificates and Section 8 Vouchers? Section 8 Certificates are issued to applicants who must rent housing units within the boundary of the issuing authority, i.e., City or County. The rent may not exceed the Fair Market Rent (FMR) limits set by HUD, less the utility allowance. The individual’s portion of the monthly rent may not exceed 30% of their monthly income. Section 8 Vouchers are portable which permits the applicant to rent a housing unit anywhere in the continental United States. The issuing Housing Authority (Carlsbad, County of San Diego, Denver, etc.) then works with the receiving Housing Authority where the applicant has moved, for payment of the monthly Housing Assistance Payment. The rent may exceed Payment Standards. The amount of rent the applicant would pay could be higher than 30% of their monthly income. How does a person qualify for the program? In order to be eligible for the Section 8 Program, you must meet the following requirements: You must be: Handicapped or disabled OR, Elderly, at least 62 years old OR, Two or more persons related by blood or marriage, or who are in a stable relationship. The family income must fall below the maximum limits for family size which is set by HUD: 1 $ 13,600 5 $ 21,000 2 15,550 6 22,550 3 17,550 7 24,100 4 19,450 8 or 8+ 25,650 How many people does Carlsbad assist? Presently, the City of Carlsbad assists a total of 358 families: 333 with Certificates and 25 with Vouchers. Approximately 52% of those assisted are Seniors, Handicapped, or Disabled persons. As of April 23, 1990, Carlsbad’s FMRs were adjusted to $568 for a one-bedroom unit, $734 for a two-bedroom unit, $912 for a three- bedroom unit, and $1020 for four-bedroom unit.
