Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Wait List CLOSED

The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Programs are federally funded (HUD/MSHDA) programs which provide assistance to help eligible individuals and families pay their rent.  If you qualify and are accepted as a participant in the HCV program, the amount you pay for rent and utilities may vary, but will generally not exceed between 30 and 40 percent of your household income.

The Traverse City Housing Commission  (TCHC) has adopted preferences for families with children, elderly and disabled individuals, as well as families who live in, work within or have been hired to work within the TCHC service area. The TCHC service area is comprised of a 50 mile radius of the TCHC Main Office and encompasses Antrim, Benzie, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, Leelanau and Wexford Counties.  You are not required to reside within our service area to submit an application.  Applicants are eligible for consideration in the program if their household income does not exceed:

Once your application is processed, it will be placed on a waiting list where it will remain until funding is available.  When funding becomes available and your application nears the top of the waiting list, you will be contacted via U.S. Mail. This initial contact will inquire as to your interest  in the HCV Program. If you are determined eligible for the HCV Program, you will attend a Briefing, at which time your family will be issued a voucher.  Once you receive a voucher, you will initially have 60 days to find housing.  We advise you that if you enter into a lease agreement prior to issuance of a voucher, the HCV Program may not be able to assist you.

NOTE:  IF ANY SITUATION ON YOUR APPLICATION CHANGES, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO INFORM THE TCHC IN WRITING SO THAT WE CAN UPDATE YOUR APPLICATION.

We look forward to working with you and your family.
