The Housing Choice Voucher Program, commonly referred to as Section 8, serves as a crucial support system for families whose income falls below 50% of the median in their area. By providing rental assistance, the program ensures that housing remains affordable for these families. Participants are required to contribute approximately 30% of their income towards rent and utilities, with the program covering the rest. This balance makes housing costs manageable for low-income families, allowing them to allocate their resources to other essential needs.
In Southwest Indiana, the Lincoln Hills Development Corporation (LHDC) plays a key role in this effort. It is tasked by the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority with the administration of housing voucher assistance across several counties, including Crawford, Gibson, Perry, Spencer, Warrick, and Vanderburgh. This arrangement underscores the program's commitment to making safe and affordable housing accessible to those in need within these communities.
