Section 8 Programs

The HUD Section 8 Low Income Rental Assistance Housing Programs provide rental assistance to very low income families throughout Montana.

Tenant Based Section 8 Housing Assistance Programs

(Housing Choice, Vouchers and Moderate Rehabilitation)

Financed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and administered by the Montana Housing Division. Allow very low income families to pay a set amount towards rent and utilities, based on their gross adjusted income (currently 30%). Very low income families have incomes of 50 percent or less of the HUD median family income for the county in which the family resides, established by HUD annually. Income Limits can be found in the in the Section 8 Documents of this site. The programs provide subsidy payments to property owners on behalf of program participants.

Demand for the subsidy program exceeds the available supply of funds and there is an extensive waiting list. Since this program involves several processing procedures both before and after being placed on a waiting list, interested families are encouraged to inquire at their local Section 8 Field Agency. See the map in Section 8 Documents of this site.
