Helping Hand Housing Choice Voucher Program

The Advantages of Renting to a Voucher Family

Thousands of rental property owners in Montgomery County team with HOC to provide quality, yet affordable housing for individuals, families, the elderly, and people with disabilities. This is WHY!

  • Monthly subsidy payment from HOC - guaranteed and on-time.

  • The right and responsibility to screen and select the tenant;

  • An annual inspection of the unit (provided by HOC) to ensure your property is well-maintained;

  • If the family leaves the unit in violation of the lease, you may keep the subsidy payment for the month in which the family leaves.

  • Protection from financial loss if the tenant suffers from unexpected financial hardship (subsidy payment may be increased to compensate for tenant's lower income).

  • HOC can help to make sure your vacant unit does not stay vacant for long (we have many prospective, qualified tenants in need of housing).

  • You will be helping a low-income individual/family, senior, or disabled person find a suitable home in your community.
