The Housing Authority owns and manages 38 projects with 901 units. The projects are located in communities through out Grant County

Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) Rental Assistance

Housing Choice vouchers are funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to help make decent, safe, and sanitary housing affordable to low-income families. Rent is based on 30% of the tenant's adjusted gross income, but may be slightly higher if the rent of the unit is greater than the payment standard.

Once a participant is issued a Section 8 voucher, he/she will look for a suitable dwelling unit to rent. To qualify, a unit must meet HUD Housing Quality Standards and be available for rent within the limits of the program. He/she may remain in the current dwelling if the unit is acceptable under the program and the property owner will agree to participate.

The Housing Authority has 237 vouchers
