Section 8 Programs

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

Project Based Section 8

The Project Based Section 8 agency is the contract administrator for properties that HUD manages throughout the state. There is a list of properties in the documents section of this site. They provide rental assistance to the projects instead of the tenants. Landlords perform administrative tasks at the local level. The agency performs the property reviews, property management, and make payments to owners. The agency earns fees from HUD for the tasks performed using tenant data and rent and payment structure. The Project Based Program renews contracts as they expire. Program specialists do special damage claims, annual rent increases, respond to emergencies, check compliance for fair housing and waiting lists, on-site management reviews, follow-up to physical inspections, review of management decisions, and budget assistance.
