Section 8
The Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Program (Mod Rehab) is a unit-based rental subsidy program for low and moderately low-income individuals and families. While the Housing Authority administers the program, HUD provides rent subsidy payments to private and nonprofit property owners for rental units rehabilitated under this program. These subsidies provide both rental support to the family as well as funds to service the debt incurred by the property owner for the unit’s rehabilitation. Mod Rehab assistance is not transferable as it is not the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program.
We do not have a Housing Choice Voucher program and do not issue nor accept applications for vouchers at any time. Atlanta Housing Authority administers housing vouchers. If you would like to apply for a housing voucher, currently have a voucher, or are considering portability transfer as an option, contact the Atlanta Housing Authority @ (404) 892-4700 to discuss.
