<h2>Finding Affordable Rental Housing in Maryland<br></h2><p> <strong>MD Housing Search</strong> (<a href="https://mdhousingsearch.org/">mdhousingsearch.org</a>) is an online housing locator service that helps people locate available housing that best fits their individual and family needs. <strong>The service can be accessed online 24 hours a day</strong> and is supported by a toll-free, bilingual call center (877-428-8844) Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. EDT. Individuals can easily search for housing using a wide variety of search criteria with special mapping features and receive apartment listings that provide a multitude of important information about each unit. In addition, the site connects people to other housing resources through website links and provides helpful tools for renters such as an affordability calculator, rental checklist, and renter rights and responsibilities information.</p><h2>What is HCV/Section 8? What are housing choice vouchers?</h2><p>The housing choice voucher program (HCV/Section 8) is the federal government's major program for assisting very low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled to afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing in the private market. Since housing assistance is provided on behalf of the family or individual, participants are able to find their own housing, including single-family homes, townhouses and apartments. Housing choice vouchers are administered locally by public housing agencies (PHAs) such as Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development. We receive federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to administer the voucher program. </p><p>For information on programs in other counties, contact the <a href="https://www.hud.gov/topics/housing_choice_voucher_program_section_8">local housing authority.</a></p> <details><summary> <h3>Eligible Applicants</h3></summary> <p>Eligibility for a housing voucher is determined by the PHA based on the household’s total annual gross income and family size. In general, the family's income may not exceed 50% of the median income for the county in which the family chooses to live. By law, a PHA must provide 75 percent of its voucher to applicants whose incomes do not exceed 30 percent of the area median income. Median income levels are published by HUD and vary by location.    </p> <p>A family that is issued a housing voucher is responsible for finding a suitable housing unit of the family's choice where the owner agrees to rent under the program. This unit may include the family's present residence. The family and the landlord will submit documentation to determine if the rent is affordable and can be approved. Rental units must meet minimum standards of health and safety, as determined by HUD’s guidelines and the PHA.    </p> <p>A housing subsidy is paid to the landlord directly by the PHA on behalf of the participating family. The family then pays the difference between the actual rent charged by the landlord and the amount subsidized by the program (determined by set area FMR standards).    </p> <p>Since the demand for housing assistance often exceeds the limited resources available to HUD and the local housing agencies, long waiting periods are common. In fact, a PHA will often close its waiting list when it has more families on the list than can be assisted in the near future.    </p> </details> <details> <summary> <h3>How to Apply to HCV/Section 8</h3></summary> <p> <strong>The Waiting List for Housing Choice Vouchers/Section 8 Vouchers administered by Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) is currently CLOSED for the following counties: Elkton, Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Somerset, Talbot, Wicomico, and Worcester.</strong>  </p> <ul><li>To apply go to the <a href="https://www.waitlistcheck.com/md1645">Waiting List Website</a></li><li>Go to the bottom of the page, click “Get Started”</li><li>Click “Register Now” or Log in with existing username and password</li><li>You must fill in all the boxes with a star *</li><li>Click Submit</li><li>Click “New Application”</li><li>Fill in all requested information</li><li>When you complete the application click “Continue” to submit</li></ul> <p>Our waitlist is opened as allowed based on funding availability from HUD.
