DCA’s Project Based Voucher Program wait lists are currently closed.

Welcome to the Housing Choice Voucher (also known as Section 8) wait list information page. The Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCV) provides rental subsidy to assist extremely low and low income individuals and families in renting safe, decent and affordable housing in the private rental market throughout Georgia’s Department of Community Affairs (DCA)’s jurisdiction. The subsidy is given to eligible families who were selected from our wait list. Eligibility for the program is based on several factors including the family’s income and eligible citizenship status.

The Project Based voucher program enables DCA to provide assistance to eligible families, including the elderly and persons with disabilities, who use a voucher that is attached to an affordable safe decent rental unit. Project Based vouchers are used at selected developments where providers of supportive services focus on special needs populations. The Department of Human Resources identifies the target population and refers clients to DCA for the program.
