Government assistance programs

Sherman Cummings
Posted

I am preparing to place a property on the rental market and am exploring different government housing strategies, such as Section 8. Does anyone have suggestions for other government assistance resources that may be available?

@Sherman Cummings - In addition to Housing Choice Vouchers ("Section 8"), many locations have other voucher and housing subsidy programs. We participate in various programs for homelessness prevention, emergency relocation, transitional housing, veteran housing, vouchers from healthcare providers, etc... The latter includes persons on Medicare or Medicaid (I forget which is which) - and they even sometimes pay landlord bonuses.
