Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8)
The Housing Choice Voucher Program (also known as Section 8) is a federal housing program funded through the Department of Housing and Urban Development. This program provides affordable rent to eligible applicants who rent units in the private sector. Rent is based on 30% of the household’s adjusted gross income. Program participants select a privately owned house, apartment, duplex or mobile home where the property owner is willing to accept voucher-assisted tenants.

Jordan Tower I has 100 units which are mainly 1 bedroom units with preference given to seniors over 62 or persons with disabilities. Jordan Tower II has 104 units which are mainly 1 bedroom units. To qualify for the Jordan Tower II program, a household member must be over 62 years old or a person with a disability.

Placement on the waiting list does not indicate that the family is, in fact, eligible for admission. When the family is selected from the waiting list, the PHA will determine eligibility and suitability for admission to the program.
WARNING: Do not falsify any data on this application or your application will be denied. Upon applying for any waitlist, please ensure you are only applying for the program for which you are qualified for.
Status information will only be provided online at https://www.hmsforweb.com/owl/login.php. Please do not call the Housing Authority for status information. If your legal or mailing address changes, you must notify the Housing Authority in writing to maintain your waiting list status.
You will not be placed on the waitlist with a preference point until verification is received by the Housing Authority. Examples of verification are: birth certificate (age), Social Security award letter (disability), copy of current pay stubs (working), current lease (residency), etc.
