About the Program

Housing Alliance and Community Partnerships (HACP) administers the Housing Choice Voucher Program (HCV) under contract with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This program enables low income families to obtain decent, safe, and affordable housing on the private market. HACP currently assists over 600 low income households with Section 8 rental assistance in the city of Pocatello.

​

To be eligible for assistance, applicants must qualify under HUD established income limits as well as other eligibility criteria established by HACP. Program participants contribute between 30% to 40% of their monthly adjusted gross income towards rent and utilities, while HACP pays the difference in the contract rent directly to the landlord.

​

Due to the large demand for rental assistance in the community, and a limited amount of funding, applicants are placed on a waiting list for assistance. 

​

The waiting list time for voucher assistance is approximately 12-24 months.
