HCV Data at a Glance

Voucher Utilization

As of 10/1/2024, HACA currently administers 7,314 vouchers through numerous HUD Housing Choice voucher/HCV (Section 8) Programs that provide assistance for low-income families.

As of 10/1/2024, HACA had a total of 6,849 leased vouchers and 242 vouchers issued to those who were actively searching for a housing unit.  The number of vouchers that HACA has leased and issued depends on a variety of factors, including available voucher funding, vacancies in existing project-based voucher (PBV) units under contract, future PBV units that have been awarded but are not yet under contract, and leasing priorities for specific programs.

The following sections show the status of vouchers by HCV program.  Numbers include both tenant-based vouchers and project-based vouchers (PBVs) under contract. Allocated vouchers are the number of vouchers that HACA has been awarded by HUD for each specific program.  Leased vouchers are the number of vouchers that are currently under contract in each program, meaning an individual/family is living in a unit that receives a housing assistance payment from HACA.  Issued vouchers are vouchers that HACA has issued to applicants from the waitlist who are currently searching for a housing unit.
