Generally, a household’s income must be below 50 percent of the median income of the county or metropolitan area that the family would like to live in. You must also be a resident of the state that you are applying for. The Housing Choice Voucher Program is designed for low income families who are either United States citizens or qualifying, legal non-citizens. In addition to these three requirements, Housing Choice Voucher Program applicants are also required to meet a familial status requirement. This program’s eligibility requirements are somewhat similar to that of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) as a household must meet requirements for citizenship, residency and income. If you are interested in applying for the HUD’s Housing Choice Voucher Program, it is important that you first understand eligibility requirements for the program.
